Tune in and be inspired by this very special dog


Taken from Best Friends Website: http://network.bestfriends.org/stopbsl/news/32158.html

Oogy was four months old when he was tied to a stake and used as bait to teach other dogs how to fight.

The left side of his face, from just behind his eye and including his ear, was torn off. His jaw bone was crushed and his skull damaged. Then, he was thrown into a cage to bleed to death.

Fate, it seems, intervened at this point and officers raided the dog fighting organization, found Oogy and took him to a vet who saved his life.

And here is where Oogy won the hearts of Larry Levin and his twin boys.

See Oogy on Oprah http://www.oprah.com/slideshow/oprahshow/slideshow1_ss_rel_20080214/14
Described as, “full of love, the third twin, special, and kind to people and animals” — Oogy’s story reminds us to see with our hearts and that for every heinous act, there is good in this world—and that is something worth fighting for.
