On behalf of a then-client, my family and I set up shot next to a grassy area marked “Hold for Oogy.” On the grounds of the L’Oreal’s plant in Cranbury, New Jersey, hope came alive, cancer research and funding became the focus, and all in the name of doggone fun in 2011. Surgery after surgery, the rambunctious pup grew to a loving, loyal member of the family. Bloodied, battered, and beaten, Oogy fought all odds. It is believed Oogy was a bait dog in a dog fighting ring, having been discovered by police during a suspected drug bust. Through a chance encounter at the veterinarian’s office, the white pup appeared to have been in a fire: He was missing an ear and half his face was covered in scar tissue. I found this so very much not to be true, as adult after child, toddler followed by senior citizen, lined up to pat Oogy, meet his dog dad, catch a photo, and hopefully, learn about breed bias.įor those unfamiliar with this rags-to-riches canine hero, Oogy entered the life of Larry Levin and his family in 2002 as a puppy. A candid moment of Larry and Oogy I captured in 2011.Īccording to his dog dad, Larry Levin, Oogy was a dog only his family could love.
