Marley & Me
by John Grogan
For animal lovers, this true story is an absolute must-read
Like so many other young couples just starting out, John and Jenny decided it was time for an addition to their family -- so they got a puppy. Before too long, the precious little pup they brought home, Marley, grew into a near-100 lb. beast of a dog that mauled visitors, destroyed everything in sight and was a holy terror during thunderstorms. However, this fuzzy, obedience school dropout had a heart of pure gold. Marley was with this young couple through the most devastating and most joyful times of their lives, and enriched their entire family with his escapades and unconditional love.
For animal lovers, this true story is an absolute must-read. Even for those that aren’t particularly crazy about animals, Marley takes the reader on a wild and joyous ride through life. Whether comforting a young stabbing victim, babysitting, starring in a movie or devising an ingenious method for polishing gold jewelry, this canine lived his life to the absolute fullest at all times. You will cry when you read this book – sometimes tears of sadness, sometimes tears of laughter. But anyone reading this wonderful story will come away from it with the reassurance that we’re all in this life together, and that friends...and family members...can come in all sizes, shapes and fur colors. Grogan’s straightforward and likeable writing style is perfectly suited to this heartfelt subject matter. “Marley & Me” is one of those rare books that pulls you in and makes you want to stay.
