Oogy's Story

Has anyone out there read this book, Oogy, the Dog Only a Family Could Love?

In the smallest of nutshells, it's about a dog that was badly injured as a "bait dog" (a dog sacrificed in the process of training fighting dogs), survived, and was adopted by the author's family.

After watching this video interview of the author, I think I'd like to check it out:  http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2010/08/oogy-the-dog-only-a-family-could-love/

It sounds like the book may actually explore the parallels between pet adoption and the adoption of children.  Could be a good read.
