Have we got an exciting group of books to giveaway thanks to the generosity of Hachette Book Group! Over the week, they are going to giveaway copies of six different titles coming out in October. Per Anna at Hachette, “I’m really limiting the giveaway of these titles. It will probably be given away in very few sites (as in—less than 10) if ever, but that’s about it. So you’ve got practically first dibs on these.” Isn’t that fun?!?!?
Today we’re giving away what I’ve come to think of as the Puppy Love books:
OOGY: The Dog Only a Family Could Love by Larry Levin
In the bestselling tradition of Rescuing Sprite comes the story of a puppy brought back from the brink of death, and the family he adopted.
In 2002, Larry Levin and his twin sons, Dan and Noah, took their terminally ill cat to the Ardmore Animal Hospital outside Philadelphia to have the beloved pet put to sleep. What would begin as a terrible day suddenly got brighter as the ugliest dog they had ever seen—one who was missing an ear and had half his face covered in scar tissue—ran up to them and captured their hearts. The dog had been used as bait for fighting dogs when he was just a few months old. He had been thrown in a cage and left to die until the police rescued him and the staff at Ardmore Animal Hospital saved his life. The Levins, whose sons are themselves adopted, were unable to resist Oogy’s charms, and decided to take him home.
Heartwarming and redemptive, OOGY is the story of the people who were determined to rescue this dog against all odds, and of the family who took him home, named him “Oogy” (an affectionate derivative of ugly), and made him one of their own.
