The endearing and fascinating tale of a family that learned the true meaning of life from a wondrously neurotic dog. fresh material, including images. Is it feasible that a larger-than-life, bad-boy canine can help humans find the secret to happiness? Ask the Grogans, please. Jenny and John had only recently started dating. They had no worries in the world because they were young and in love. Then Marley, a lively yellow dog, was brought home. Never again would life be the same. Marley developed into a ninety-seven-pound, barreling Labrador retriever. He snatched women's underwear while smashing through screen doors and drywall. Obedience school did no good -- Marley was expelled. But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Marley & Me is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives.
