Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love by Larry Levin

5.0

Last year, my family and I adopted a pit bull that had been severly abused. The director of the rescue that we got Pretty Girl from had asked me if I had heard of Oogy or read the book. She said that everytime she saw his picture she thought of Pretty. When I googled Ooogy I immediately saw what she meant. Pretty Girl has the same misshapen face and crooked smile as Oogy. She has both her ears but the similarities are startling. Once my interest had been caught I made a mental note to find the book and read Oogy's story. The best part of this book is that they are still unclear on the details of Oogy's life before he was rescued so there are many unanswered questions. It is the same for our family. Pretty was found in a rural shelter already horribly disfigured so we are unclear on how she was hurt or who is responsible.

This book tells the story of a family and how they embraced the newest member of their family. It a story about overcoming bad things that happen in life and finding joy in those you love.
