Marley was a vivid character and deservedly pushed all the other characters aside and surely I know the feeling of living 15 years with two dogs and then loosing them, but this just didn't reach me. I cried and laughed, yes, but just like watching some "smart" tv-series, it left me empty and the only thing that keeps disturbing me is how long Marley had to suffer his bad hips before he was put to blissful sleep - and I know how hard that final decision is. (  ) Lady_Lazarus | Dec 18, 2009 |  This book made me laugh, cry and think back on all the hairbrained things my own childhood loopy yet wonderful dog used to do. Grogan is a great narrator and brought out the wonderfully endearing qualities that reside in our canine friends. (  ) mmillet | Dec 14, 2009 | 2006 (  ) katiemertz | Nov 20, 2009 | This book is about a couple who decides to get a dog. They go and pick this puppy. They name the puppy Marley after Bob Marley. The puppy starts to grow up to a goofy dog. They try taking him to dog school which blow up in their faces. Some points the wife gets frustrated and wants Marley gone but they husband knows better and she calms down. The dog lets her beat him one day when she got so frustrated and when she is not aloud to get out of bed because she is pregant he stays next to her side and the baby. I love this book. It made me remember when i had my dog and no matter how mad i get with her she is always right there when you need her. She somehow know when something is wrong n just lay next to you. This book more for high school students. I would use this book as indepent reading samitay89 | Nov 15, 2009 | Fun and bright, great for people considering getting a dog.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060817089, Hardcover)
John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever, a dog like no other. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women's undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewelry. Obedience school did no good—Marley was expelled. Neither did the tranquilizers the veterinarian prescribed for him with the admonishment, "Don't hesitate to use these." And yet Marley's heart was pure. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley shared the couple's joy at their first pregnancy, and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. He was there when babies finally arrived and when the screams of a seventeen-year-old stabbing victim pierced the night. Marley shut down a public beach and managed to land a role in a feature-length movie, always winning hearts as he made a mess of things. Through it all, he remained steadfast, a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans.
