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. Marley is loopy, crazy and loving. (  ) EricPMagnuson | Nov 12, 2009 | This book tells an inspiring story of a young family's life with a crazy dog who they love unconditionally. Grogan fills the book with hilarious and heartfelt experiences with his yellow lab Marley. This book had me laughing almost every chapter and when reading it you cant help but think how much of an angel your own dog is compared to Marley. This book shows how Marley, like any dog, can help you get through tragedies and learn the important lessons of life. At the end of the story when Grogan recaps on the times he has been through with Marley its feels like you are watching home made videos. I felt a closeness to Marley and the family while reading the book and by the end I was sad my journey with them was over. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a good laugh and wants to experience a crazy dog for a few days. 1  lfreire | Nov 11, 2009 | I absolutely, positively loved this book!!! I laughed and cried- on the NYC subway- not caring who looked. What a wonderful story about an amazing dog and the love he had for his family and they for him. It was just beautiful. cdyankeefan | Nov 9, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
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.
