Oogy by Larry Levin

Subtitle: The Dog Only a Family Could Love -- This was a wonderful story about a family who was losing a pet and gained another that not just anyone could love. Oogy had been used as a bait dog and had lost an ear and most of his face. The way that Oogy became an integral part of the family and community was just amazing. It wasn't always an easy read for a couple of reasons. One was the nature of the content and why Oogy was the way he was. The other was that Levin isn't the smoothest of writers for me. I had to re-read things to figure out what he was saying which is something I just do not enjoy. But, if you are an animal lover this really is a heart warming book about an amazing dog.
