Even the Levin's current dog from years prior, Pepsi, develops a deep relationship with the newly rescued Sprite right off the bat. Three weeks after rescuing Sprite, the Levin family started to notice Sprite's health was deteriorating and Sprite eventually collapses on Halloween, landing him and the Levin family a visit to the animal hospital. Little did the Levin family know, this would be the first of many visits to the animal hospital as Sprite's condition continually worsened.
