I cannot listen to Mark on the radio either. Love his ideas but he is too abrupt and rude to callers, even those who agree with him must feel put down.

As for the doggie book, I read it too, and his emotion was heartfelt. Some people just feel more strongly about their pets than others. My husband still mourns for our late lab, Stewart.

Labs are one of the sweetest dogs ever bred. I have had my old lab for 10 years and have buried 2 others (mutts) in my back yard...its hard to do, and I still missed them from time to time, but it just seemed to me Levin went overboard at the end of the book...But it was a sweet story..

Sorry for the loss of your companion, that to me is what my dogs were and are...
