Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love Book

When Oogy a rare Dogo Argentine puppy was four months old he was tied to a stake and used as bait for a pit bull. After the fight the left side of his face including most of his ear had been torn away and he had been bitten so hard that his jaw had been crushed. Rescued by the police he was taken to the Ardmore Animal Hospital in Philadelphia where a team of doctors operated for hours to save him. Miraculously and against all odds Oogy survived. This is the story of Oogy's life and also of Laurence and Jennifer Levin who after a chance encounter with a scarred and crippled yet joyful puppy immediately adopted him just as they had adopted their twin sons twelve years earlier. It is the story of the Ardmore Animal Hospital and its staff who saved Oogy and spent years operating on him striving to improve his quality of life without accepting a penny. It is about family and looking after each other and the thousands and thousands of animals who are saved by people with a special place in their hearts for the unprotected the defenceless and the abused.Read More

    In 2002, Larry Levin and his twelve-year-old sons, Dan and Noah, took their elderly cat to the vet to be put to sleep. Yet what began as one of the family's saddest days took a sharp turn for the better when the oddest-looking dog they had ever seen bounded across the waiting room into their arms. The friendly white puppy was missing an ear and half of his face was covered in scar tissue, but Larry and his boys soon discovered the truth - the puppy had been used as bait in a dogfight and left for dead, and it was only the tireless work of their local veterinary staff that had saved him. The Levins accepted the young pup as one of their own from the moment they met him and from that point on he marked himself indelibly on their lives, healing old wounds and showing the boys, themselves adopted as infants, that unbreakable bonds can be formed in all kinds of families.
