I recommend this book:

Here's what Amazon says:

Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover's Story of Joy and Anguish

Product Description A STUNNINGLY INTIMATE LOOK AT THE LOVE BETWEEN A FAMILY AND A DOG WHICH MOVINGLY SHOWS THAT "IN THE END, WE HUMANS ARE THE LUCKY ONES."

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. Their lives would never be the same.

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. But Sprite's health deteriorated -- even as his spirits remained high and his beauty and grace continued to inspire. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2006, the Levin family said their emotional final good-bye. Crushed and consumed with grief, Mark turned to family, friends, and fans for help. But new hope came when the Levins least expected it. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

I always hear Mark Levin recommend it on the radio to those who've lost our loved pets.

May you find Peace, and Trust in God!

Thank you for the recommendation of Mark’s book. His Sprite sounds physically and mix wise like my first dog Lady. She was such an amazing and good dog. Now I am a cat girl, but love so many dogs I am not sure which one to pick. I guess when the time is right God will place another in my husband and I’s life.
