There was something about Oogy that made him special. Perhaps it was the missing ear, or the asymmetrical face, or the hapless look of a rescued pup who not long before had been used as bait for pit bull warriors. Whatever the qualities, it convinced Larry Levin and his twin sons to adopt this hapless, ugly pooch and make him part of their household. A heart-tugging saga for anyone who can't resist the plaintive, upturned eyes. A word of mouth bestseller now in a paperback edition that contains a new afterword.

Why did I read this on my lunch in the breakroom? I knew it was going to make me cry, memoirs about animals always make me cry.Don't worry, I passed it off as really bad allergies.
Written by a lawyer. And you can tell. It's boring and dry. I had to push past all that dullness to get to the heart of the story, which was really lovely. This book isn't for everyone. Some might fall asleep.
