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.

"I just loved this heart warming story and was balling my eyes out by the end! Read it during the Christmas break snow storm of December 2008; the snow hadn't started yet, but it was coming. school closed at 5am and my family and I headed for Boston. We arrived by 9am prepared to wait, but due to the weather the hotel wasn't busy and our room was ready! just as we reached our room, the snow began to fall. We were on a high floor and the view combined with the storm was just beautiful. Everyone was tired, as we had left so early to beat the storm. My husband climbed into one bed, my son and I into the other and as they drifted off to sleep, I snuggled up with Marley and Me!"
