Description
|
|
|
|
The injured pup was missing an ear, and half of his face was covered in scar tissue, so when he came running up to Larry Levin and his adopted twin sons Noah and Dan at a Philadelphia animal hospital, they assumed he had been in a fire. But Levin soon learned the horrible truth: this little pit bull had been used as bait for fighting dogs and left for dead, until a police officer rescued him and the hospital's surgeon, against all odds, managed to save his life. Levin tells the moving story of Oogy, as the boys named him, and how this mangled dog's loving and buoyant personality completely stole their hearts and brought them all closer together, as Oogy eventually became their "Third Twin." "In simple, touching prose, Levin relates the details of Oogy's rescue, his entry into their family, and the joy he continues to spread.... Highly recommended for anyone (that's all of us) in need of inspiration."—Library Journal "This is a story about what can happen when the worst in people meets the best in people and the best wins. In spite of its subject, this is a gentle tale of one man's love for his dog and the angels along the way who brought Oogy into his life."—Susan Richards
