Mark Levin has become one of the hottest properties in Talk radio, his
top-rated show on WABC New York is now syndicated nationally by ABC
Radio Networks. He is also one of the top new authors in the
conservative political arena. Mark's radio show on WABC in New York
City skyrocketed to Number 1 on the AM dial in his first 18 months on the
air in the competitive 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM time slot. Mark's book Men in
Black was released February 7, 2005 and quickly climbed to Number 3 in
the nation on the New York Times Best-Seller list. When your book is
endorsed by Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, you know you have a
winner on your hands. In a short period of time, Mark has become one of
the most listened to local radio Talk show hosts in the nation.

Mark Levin took over the WABC 6:00 PM slot on September 2, 2003.
Before that, he hosted a popular Sunday afternoon program. "He's
smart, witty, and fast on the draw," according to WABC Program Director
Phil Boyce. "He has this sharp sarcastic wit that can easily stun his
opponents. I know I would not want to debate him." Mark's show follows
the ever popular Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity on WABC, but
everyday he manages to come up with a new twist on the day's top news
events, as well as his own unique information. His passion and intellect
have made him a favorite of tens of thousands of radio listeners in the
New York City area.

Mark has been a frequent guest and substitute host on The Sean
Hannity Show, and has also been an advisor to Limbaugh, who
frequently refers to him on the air with the nickname "F. Lee Levin." He is
perhaps more well-known for his nickname, "The Great One," coined by
his friend Hannity.

Mark Levin is one of America's preeminent conservative commentators
and constitutional lawyers. He's in great demand as a political and legal
commentator, and has appeared on hundreds of television and radio
programs. Levin is also a contributing editor for National Review Online,
and writes frequently for other publications. Levin has served as a top
advisor to several members of President Ronald Reagan's Cabinet -
including as Chief of Staff to the Attorney General of the United States. In
2001, the American Conservative Union named Levin the recipient of the
prestigious Ronald Reagan Award. He currently practices law in the
private sector, heading up the prestigious Landmark Legal Foundation in
Washington DC.
The Mark Levin Show
Although Mark Levin is known as a
constitutional lawyer and a nationally
syndicated broadcaster, he is, first and
foremost, a dog lover. In 1998, he and his
family welcomed a half-Border
Collie/half-Cocker Spaniel they named Pepsi
into their lives. Six years later, his wife and
son persuaded him to adopt a dog from the
local shelter, a Spaniel mix. It turned out he
was older than originally thought, and he was
the most beautiful dog they'd ever seen. They
named him Sprite.
Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover's Story
of Joy and Anguish
Sprite and Pepsi became fast friends. They
did everything together, from rummaging
through the trash to loudly greeting the
deliveryman. And the Levin family fell in love
with him -- with his gentle nature, beautiful
face and soft, huggable fur. But on Halloween night, shortly after
joining their family, Sprite suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the
animal hospital. It was the first of many such visits, and the start of a
long journey for the Levin family, filled with much joy and anguish.

During the next two years, Sprite and Pepsi were inseparable. And
Sprite's bond with the Levin family deepened. Friends, neighbors,
and even Mark's radio audience came to know and love Sprite. As
Mark's daughter turned eighteen and graduated from high school
and Mark's son turned fifteen, Sprite's health deteriorated -- even as
his spirits remained high and his beauty and grace continued to
inspire. Comfort came from family, fans, and friends, and between
Thanksgiving and Christmas 2006, the Levin family said their
emotional final goodbye. Crushed and consumed with grief, Mark
turned to family, friends, and fans for help.

But new hope came when the Levins least expected it.

Rescuing Sprite is a stunningly intimate look at the love between a
family and a dog, one that movingly shows, in Mark Levin's words,
that "in the end, we humans are the lucky ones."
