I have always maintained that our animal companions have souls, and we will see them again in Heaven. Levin described Sprite's way of sniffing the breeze off the Potomac. I always get a lump in my throat, as I'm sure others do, because I think about those special dogs and cats that have shared their time with me. If Heaven is as real as I believe it to be, then she will have a friend waiting for her on the other side.of course, she'll have to convince him of that - he was a little cantankerous.Anyone who has ever adopted a dog with problems can relate to the joy and grief Mr.
I laughed at some points, and cried at many others.especially every time Mr. Every Friday night, Mark Levin signs off saying "Good night, Spritey". When my last dog passed away, I kept his leash and collar. Sometimes it is those who are with us for the briefest of time that leave the most lasting impressions.Thank you for Rescuing Sprite.both the book, and the home you created for a most special dog. I can just see Sprite, in my minds eye, ears and fur dancing, and an upturned nose catching a faint smell on the wind.maybe of the home he lost, or the people he came from.
When I adopted my current dog, I let her smell the collar of my last dog.and I said 'brother'. Thank you for allowing those of us who have grieved deeply in private to grieve a little more in the open. I think about Patches (a Dalmation), Al (a large gray cat), and Bob (a blond tabby).Rescuing Sprite is a quick, emotional read. Levin experienced. And, I really think that Mr.
Levin memorialized Sprite in a beautiful way.The Levin's gave him the best end of life a dog could possibly ask for, and I think Sprite knew that. I have spent many nights sleeping next to sick animals and tending to their needs, regardless of time. This is the type of grief that does better when it is shared.
Great book. Eventhough Mark is well-known for his political voice, the book is not political at all. a very poignant real-life story of his family.
except in doing so proves that the man just likes to hear himself speak. It is one thing to tell a story that shows how much you love a dog, and another to just write over and over again how much you love your dog and how sad you are that you have to put it to sleep.
all of these books are fabulously written, almost lyrical in prose and have touched me very personally. I've ready many books about animals including Marley and Me, Amazing Gracie, Marley and Me, The Dog Who Rescues Cats and Dewey- The Small Town Library Cat.
As a previous reviewer wrote, this book was entirely about HIM and how miserable he felt that his dog was sick. I couldn't wait to get home and read this tale about Sprite.
however, this book felt contrived at best. This didn't spark much emotion out of me and the entire book, especially when he tries to convince the reader what a wistful, ponderous being Rush Limbaugh is.
all in all, stay away from this one and go for the books listed above that will truely touch your heart.
This came very promptly and in great shape. It is a good book.some tears and some laughter, but great for animal lovers.cats or dogs.
I wanted to read about the DOG. It almost seemed like the author was trying to prove to the world just how much he loved his dog by going on and on and on about HIS sadness.
I received "Rescuing Sprite" as a birthday present. What a major disappointment.
I absolutely love dogs and stories about dogs. The entire book is about the author, not the dog.
It is poorly written and boring. The prose is comprised of short, choppy sentences like it was written by 6th grader.
The book is just an endless litany HIS sadness, HIS pain, HIS anguish, HIS emptiness. It's really bad.
