- Mods: This video ain't strictly "political" because I don't know what party Oogy belongs to, or whether of not he's even registered. But it is definitely an important topic about adopting animals like this. And besides, it is good for the human spirit that every once and a while we're reminded about what love can do.

1. Damn how did that dirt get caught in my eye.

Good Doggie Good Boy

BTW That family never needs to worry about a buddy watching out for them.

God is Dog spelled backwards

20. You have that absolutely right!
Both Oogy and the family have been blessed. It appears they are deserving of each other.

This is a wonderful story!

5. Great Story... Thanks for sharing!
The fact that Oogy can not only forgive but love and trust humans after what he's been through is a true inspiration. I'm glad he finally has a loving home.

24. That's my vet, Dr. Bianco, that saved Oogy
He and all his staff are absolutely marvelous, and I've been bringing my dogs there for over 15 years. I'm blessed to live so close to his clinic.

Incidently, Dr. B doesn't charge the Levin family for ANY of Oogy's care... not just the surgeries but his regular check-ups and whatever else he may need for the rest of his life. He once again made the decision to go above and beyond the call of duty and try to save another poor mangled animal no one owned, and maybe that's why the cops knew to take Oogy to his clinic when they raided the dog fighting site and found him still alive.

If you're interested, this is a more in-depth video of Oogy and his story when he and his family were on Oprah with lots of clips of Oogy at home and at the clinic with commentary from the whole family and Dr. B....

22. What a heartwarming story!
I'm so happy Oogy has a loving family now.

I hate people who abuse animals! I'm so glad there are good people in the world too.

25. More in-depth video of Oogy and his story here...
If anyone's interested, this is a more in-depth video of Oogy and his story when he and his family were on Oprah with lots of clips of Oogy at home and at the clinic with commentary from the whole family and Dr. B....
http://ardmoreah.com/index.php (you have to scroll down a little - sorry, but I don't know how to make the video come up on the YouTube site).

As I mentioned in another post here, Dr. Bianco who saved Oogy is my vet... best vet in the world and I'm so fortunate to live near his clinic. I've been taking my dogs there for over 15 years. Dr. B doesn't charge the Levin family for ANY of Oogy's care, not just the surgeries, but any care at all that he needs for the rest of his life.

Bless the Levin family for giving Oogy a loving home and actually feeling privileged that they could... the world needs a lot more people like them.
