Oogy The Dog Only a Family Could Love by Larry Levin was not what I expected it to be like I expected a fast paced story of a dog who was abused then adopted into a loving family I m not saying that the dog wasn t adopted and cared for by a loving family I m saying that the way it was written made me want to set it down and read another book Oogy is a story about a young dog who was used as a fighting dog He was the bait the beginning of the fight He was hurt severly and left to die He was brought into the vet and they fixed him up and put him up for adoption Nobody thought anyone in their right mind would adopt a dog that had lost and ear and was mangled When Larry Levin and his family walked into the animal hospital to put their cat to sleep they imediatley saw Oogy It was love at first sight They adopted the loving animalThe description makes the book sound oh so appealing to every dog or animal lover The truth is the book is very very detailed They make the story drag on and on The first chapter alone made me want to fall asleep Levin talk in depth about his morning routine and how long the coffee should stay put and how long something it microwaved The point of this story isn t to get to know the author though in a sense maybe it is The story is about the dog Granted you do get to learn a lot about he dog like the fact that he s not actually a pitbull he s a Dogo Argentina That is a rare breed in the United States that is often used for fightingPeople who would like this book are animal lovers If you love reading about animals this book is for you The hope it leaves you with is different from other books If you read Marley Me A Dog s Life or anything like that and liked it I m sure this book won t dissapoint you Overall Oogy is a book of hope about a loving mangled happy friendly dog

What if every person carried with them a tiny piece of what makes Levin and his family so great A tiny piece Would that be so hard Imagine the difference that would make for the animals in this country In the world I finished this last night and I hope I get to meet Oogy someday I d get in my car and drive to the Levin s today if presented with the chance He truly is remarkable Oogy s story may be one of the rare ones but people should be aware there are others If not in exactly the same situations Look up Firu on FaceBook for example It scares me to think how much worse these animals would have it if it weren t for people like the Levins the people who came into Oogy s life at the animal hospital myself other rescue workers pet owners who go above and beyond etc It s funny but we never look at it as above and beyond it s just what people should do Oogy s story needed to be told All of their stories need to be told I had one main problem with the book and aside from that my comments will all be personal My main problem Levin s writing I ve tried to not think too harshly because after all Levin isn t an author I find it kind of amusing that when I read the first few pages I immediately thought to myself that Levin had to be a journalist or a lawyer He s a lawyer But his writing is very detailed Far too detailed Far far far too detailed Like I don t care that he sleeps on the left side of his bed or that he turns his doorknob to the right I don t care that he sleeps using 34 of a blanket I know he microwaves his coffee for 50 seconds I don t want to know that I don t want to know that much about my own kids life Good God It makes me wonder since I know nothing about how publishing works if maybe someone okay d the book and gave him a minimum page count But no I think this is just him Which is fine but it doesn t work extremely well in written form His writing is very bare I think it would have done good to have had someone helping him along with this I don t like flowery overly descriptive writing and it s the reason I stay away from certain kinds of fiction You usually don t meet up with that in this sort of book Unless this is something that would bother you to great extremes I say try it It s uick just over 200 pages and it s meaningful I don t agree with everything Levin writes about but a true animal lover he is And I also want to point out in case he ever reads this he has multiple reasons to be proud of those boys of his I m sure he knows this but if what s written about them here is true wow I can only hope my daughter is like them when she s their age I almost forgot does anyone think color photos were left out for a reason Because of Oogy s looks I wish they d been included Oogy isn t scary looking to me I d be hesitant to go up to him by myself or with my daughter without first asking permission but we do that with every dog That should be done with every dog If the owner said it was okay I d be all over him and so would my daughter I think he s beautiful About the personal stuff One of the doctors involved with Oogy s care had a young boy come into his hospital years earlier Or what I m led to believe was years earlier it doesn t actually say The young boy had a torn up pit with him was crying and said his dog was attacked Dr Bianco fixed the dog up handed him back and went about his business If he did this without charging the child which I have to assume by the info here he should be commended that s rare as hell these days Several months later the kid came back Same dog same injuries same act Dr Bianco stepped to the kid and told him he knew he was fighting the dog So what did he do Did he take the dog Call the police Even call the kids parents He fixed the dog up again handed him over and told him to not bring him back There is nothing included here about him trying to talk to the young boy maybe to school him on dog fighting and what happens etc Nothing One can only think of what that dogs time after that entailed I m sure his time on this earth ended by now Not very professional IMO but certainly nothing having to do with the writing of this book Something I wanted to mention Whenever I hear someone talk about how a dog can t or they think they can t understand certain words I laugh While certain breeds are capable of learning and understanding most if not all dogs will understand some words at some point My Lab knows all of the usuals want to go for a ride treat bone walk ball toy shake He knows an insane amount of non usuals like belly scratches medicine Julia mailbox ham cheese apartment and I could keep going And these are all words that are not associated with anything Not with any special time of day activity mood nothing He knows the words I don t consider that all that crazy myself Maybe because I ve been around dogs all my life Aren t animals as a whole fairly intelligent This makes me want to write down a complete or as complete as possible list of all the words Scooter knows Just to see it in front of me I may have to do that nowI want to meet Oogy I want to drive to his town and sit somewhere until he walks by I want to pet him and I want to look in his eyes I want to give him a kiss Maybe one day I ll get to do that Until then I ll be happy that he s made it to where he is now that he s surrounded by love and great people and
