Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love—A Review

If you are the kind of reader who loves to cry, laugh, and see good overcome evil in one story, you will appreciate this book--a true story of a dog rescue. Oogy was just a little puppy when he was used as bait for dogs trained to kill. Ripped apart and left to die, he was found by police who saved his life. In spite of physical disfigurement and a puppyhood characterized by terror, this little dog had a beautiful heart that took in everyone he met, both human and canine. The Levin family took Oogy home, and Larry Levin, author of the book, ties their story with his.
Keep the Kleenex handy, but be prepared for a lot of laughs. The book does not get bogged down in evil, but the truth of Oogy’s journey is not overlooked either. Oogy is a story about second chances, overcoming the odds, and beauty rising out of ashes. It is a story about how love, hope and joy overcome the most inexplicable human cruelty. If you have ever given your heart to a dog or been the recipient of a dog’s love, you will understand the joys these simple creatures bring us. You will understand Oogy.
