So, at this point the story is just being summed up because Sprite has already passed away. The Levin family is in a slump I would say.
Mark, especially, is struggling with the death of his dog. Dogs truly are wonderful and become part of the family very soon. They love you unconditionally and get excited about the littlest things! Mark fell into a depression and his health took a dive as well.
The family made the decision to have Sprite cremated, and Mark planted a tree in honor of Sprite. Before he put the tree in the hole, though, he sprinkled Sprite's ashes on the roots. He did this, so that Sprite would live on through the tree's life.
A couple months after Sprite's death, the Levin family adopted another dog in need of a home. They named him Griffen. Griffen would soon after pull Pepsi out of his depression. Regardless, the Levin's will always remember Sprite and the life he brought to their family.
I think dogs live such short lives because they already know how to love, unconditionally, so they need less time on earth to show that love. Us humans, however, need years and years of learning.
Sad book. Needless to say, I'm glad it's over.
