Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog Book

Now a hit film starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, Marley and Me is a moving and intensely funny story about a family and an extremely rambunctious Labrador named Marley.

Grogan tells the tales of Marley's mischievous behaviour and shares the way this unruly dog becomes part of the family, connecting with all of them, sharing their ups and downs from the birth of the children to the life-changing tragedies. It's a story about starting a marriage, becoming parents and enjoying every second you have together. This is a heart-warming book that dog lovers and non-dog lovers alike can't help but love - just make sure you have your hankies at the ready! Read More

  • Product Description

    The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family in the making and the
    wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life

    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.
