6/27/2023 0 Comments Oogy by Larry Levin![]() ![]() Don't get me wrong, I don't mind hearing about the author's children a bit, but it quickly got tedious and dull. Heartwarming and redemptive, Oogy is the story of the people who were determined to rescue this dog against all odds, and of the family who took him home, named him "Oogy" (an affectionate derivative of ugly), and made him one of their own.Īuthor spends way too much time in the first half of the book talking in far too great detail about things other than the dog on the cover. The Levins, whose sons are themselves adopted, were unable to resist Oogy's charms, and decided to take him home. ![]() He had been thrown in a cage and left to die until the police rescued him and the staff at Ardmore Animal Hospital saved his life. The dog had been used as bait for fighting dogs when he was just a few months old. What would begin as a terrible day suddenly got brighter as the ugliest dog they had ever seen-one who was missing an ear and had half his face covered in scar tissue-ran up to them and captured their hearts. In 2002, Larry Levin and his twin sons, Dan and Noah, took their terminally ill cat to the Ardmore Animal Hospital outside Philadelphia to have the beloved pet put to sleep. In the bestselling tradition of Rescuing Sprite comes the story of a puppy brought back from the brink of death, and the family he adopted. ![]()
