Perfect for you if...

  • You love dogs and aren't afraid to laugh at the messy reality of pet ownership rather than the Instagram version.
  • You're drawn to stories about how ordinary family life gets turned upside down by one chaotic, devoted creature.
  • You appreciate humour mixed with genuine emotion, especially stories about saying goodbye to someone you love.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer stories where dogs are well-behaved and obedient, or where training tips actually work.
  • You're looking for a straightforward dog training manual rather than a memoir about failing at dog training.
  • You find detailed descriptions of home destruction and property damage annoying rather than amusing.

About this book

Marley & Me is John Grogan's true story of a family and their yellow Labrador retriever puppy. John and Jenny brought Marley home when they were young and newly in love. As Marley grew into a ninety-seven-pound dog, he developed a pattern of destructive behavior: crashing through screen doors, gouging drywall, stealing undergarments, and eating various household items. He was expelled from obedience school. Despite his chaotic antics and refusal to obey limits, Marley displayed boundless love and loyalty to his family. As the dog grew up alongside the Grogans' children, he taught them about unconditional devotion and what truly matters in life. The book chronicles both the humorous chaos Marley caused and the deeper meaning his presence brought to their household. This edition includes photos and new material.
