As the author was describing her first encounter with Homer I couldn\u2019t help but \u201cawwh\u201d because she was describing a cute little kitten.  Homer\u2019s story, like Oogy\u2019s is also beautiful.  Both of these animals have the beauty of finding love.  They were both \u201coutcasts\u201d having something physically wrong with them but in the end they found a family that loves them for who they are!<\/p>\n<p>I think that the ugly\/abused dogs are the ones that are more likely to get adopted because of the sympathy card.  People see the commercials of these poor innocent animals that have gotten abused or neglected and can\u2019t help but feel sorry for them!  I think that the looks of the animal, how beautiful it is, doesn\u2019t really matter when it comes to this.  People won\u2019t care if the animal is \u201cbeautiful\u201d because they know what the animal has been through.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure exactly why black coated animals would be harder to get adopted because I personally think they are cute!  I think that black animals may have a harder time getting placed in homes because black is such a dark color that isn\u2019t usually related back to happy and playful things.  Also, the superstition about black cats could play a role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oogy\u2019s beauty definitely came from his success story.
