Oogy the dog who stole hearts: Goes paperback!

Remember Oogy, our handsome cover boy from our May/June issue of FIDO Friendly magazine?

Oogy's bestselling book is going paperback for fans to re-read, treasure and fall in love all over again.

Who's Oogy? 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. Used as bait for fighting dogs when he was just a few months old, police rescued the pup and the staff at Ardmore Animal Hospital saved his life. The Levins were unable to resist Oogy's charms and decided to take him home.

Heartwarming and redemptive, OOGY is the story of the family who took home the dog they eventually called “Oogy” – a twist on “ugly” – and made him one of their own.

 The hardcover edition of this heartwarming tale shipped over 225,000 copies, spending 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and becoming an IndieNext pick.  A new afterword about readers’ responses to Oogy’s amazing story has been included in the paperback. The paperback also includes a bound-in reading group guide and new pictures of Oogy meeting readers at book signings. Grand Central is proud to bring the paperback to you on October 18th.
