Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love Audiobook

" Loved this book! It is a wonderful representation of how forgiving animals can be. It just goes to prove that despite the environment he was born into, there was still a wonderful dog underneath it all. This book shows the extremely close bond that Mr. Levin has with his furry friend. Definitely recommend it! "

" I enjoyed this book. It is amazing the capacity of dogs to forgive. The only thing I did not appreciate was the authors approach to parents who did not want their children around this powerful dog, even thought his admits he was rough with new people. "

" Oogy is the story of a dog who is rescued from a horrific act. Oogy is saved by many events and people. It is also the story of his "adopted" family who has adopted twins. I enjoyed the book and recommend it as easy reading. "

" Not the best written book, but the story was great. "

" Loved, loved, loved this book!! Easy read but great story!! "

" Heartwarming story, but definitely not written very well. I was curious about the topic - incorporating abused animals into a new, safe home - so I ignored the incessant details, but the story itself was one I'll always remember. "

" I knew it would be hard to read in places but the story is actually quite sweet. Not magnificient writing but heartfelt, honest and real. "

" It was okay. The dramatic/traumatic part of the story happens before it begins and the author really can't say what actually occurred. THAT would have been writing about. Oogie's life with the author's family is just normal. "

" Oh what a good book I recommend this to all the animal lovers out there...I have to say this is the first book I read about a dog and it won't be my last. As a big animal lover myself I never had a dog The cover is what made me pick it up the picture of Oogy on the cover what a loving face. "

" Heartwarming!!! Also quite the tear-jerker (if you're a dog lover like me)! "

" In love with this book "

" A champion of a dog, and such a loving family!!! "

" What an amazing story of a great dog and his family - the ability of man to do evil acts and to do loving acts are both incredible. "

" Great heartwarming book! Very quick read, but it stays with you! Anyone who loves dogs will love this book! "

" this dog is a amazing suvivor of a bait dog!! "

" This is a story of a family who adopted a dog who had been used for bait in a fighting ring. The dog was a Dogo. "

" This is a lovely story about a horribly savaged puppy. However, I listened to it on CD in my car. I would not have been able to read this book as his writing style is not my favorite. The story is wonderful!!!!! "

" I thought I would just love this book although I knew it would be a tear jerker. It was very easy to read, but I felt poorly written. But very glad there are people like this author who have saved dogs like Oogy and given them a great life. "

" Heartwaring story. Revives faith in humaity. "

" Great story! What a dog, what a comeback. Gotta love Oogy! I do. "

" Quick read. First chapter didn't do it for me. Chapter 7 was my favorite. This is really a book not only about the dog, but also the author's two sons. Very positive family and one happy ending for a very special dog. "

" finished this book in one afternoon. as i myself have a rescue dog this book spoke volumes to me. if you like dogs even just a little this is the book for you. "

" A light and endearing read about a dog that really overcame incredible odds to live with a loving family. A very fast but uplifting read for any dog lover. "

" What a hearwarming story this was! I am so happy he had a happy ending story! It was nice to read a dog book where the dog is still alive at the end :) "

" Great life lessons about taking the tuff stuff of life and keeping a sweet disposition inspite of it all. Not particularly well written, but worth finishing because the best of the book is towards the end. "

" Overall this was a really good book about a very well-loved dog. It is amazing to hear what Oogy went through and what he is today. It really warms my heart and makes me love my dog even more. I would reccomend this to animal and dog lovers, and people who are into rescuing/rescued animals. "

" oh man... books DO NOT tear my up. but this one is seriously heart wrenching. i want an oogy... really bad! esther would totally appreciate this book "

" Oogy was a bait dog, found in a raid and saved by a vet. He was adopted by the author and his family. Rescue dog story. Nice but dull. Maybe work better as a magazine article? "

" This is a good story, though the writing is only so-so. You have to take into consideration that the author is not a professional writer. This dog inspired him to write the book. With that in mind, if you are not a dog/animal lover, then this might not be up your alley. "

" Loved this book, love Oogy! A wonderful true story about a dog treated with utter hate in the first most important months of life only to be saved and treated like a king now for the rest of his life. I'd love to met him in person or a real Dogo to see how big they really are. "

" Surprisingly I enjoyed this book. Unbelievable that people actually do exist that use 'bait dogs'. The rest of the book was awesome!<br/> "

" I love to read about dogs and love between them and people. This was one of those. It was written a little simple maybe for younger readers, but I did enjoy it! "

" I think this was a nice story. Good message. Mediocre writing. This is his first book and it reads like it. But I loved the bond between the dog and his family. "

" What can I say? GO OOGY! Oogy, Oogy, Oogy!<br/><br/>Any dog lover can appreciate this great book about an inspiring dog and his loving, self-sacrificing family. A quick read but it stays with you...<br/><br/>P.S. Go Oogy, go. "

" This is a story of a family who adopted a dog who had been used for bait in a fighting ring. The dog was a Dogo. "

" Such a cute and inspiring story. One I would especially recommend to families who have adopted children. "

" Sweet story, read mostly outloud to Tim and Cadence on our journey to the Olympic Penninsula for some hiking. "

" Sweet story...but really not that much story! "

" This is a very good dog lover’s book. It's wonderful to read about the loving rescue (adoption) of an extraordinary dog, and it was nicely interwoven with the adoption of boys. It got a little uncomfortable for me when I realized the extent to which the dog was running the household. "

" The author talks about other people projecting themselves onto this dog. He should look at himself as well. "
