About this eBook

The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. Now with photos and new material.

Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans.

John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with 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 grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. 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.

Ratings and reviews

The fact that the writer is a columnist and not a novelist shows. The narrative defiantly bounces around. But if you like peoples dogs stories you will find yourself finishing the last chapter without realizing you were hooked. I will also say this isn't just about the dog but also the author and his family so not every chapter is lovable antics. Read the free sample if you are still interested when you reach the end buy the book.

i love Marley & Me it was such a good book but the movie was better i loved them both we especially the movie it shows you how you bond with your first dog and what its like to lose after the bad past and good times you had him i been there its not but its an experience for all of us Marley was my favorite character because hes so irresistibly cute I'm hoping this book will get more reviews:)

I love this book because I have a bad yellow lab my self!! You cant yell at them though they are so cute. "The look"
