Marley & Me

Product Information

The Grogans try to get him in an obeidence school from which he is expelled from, when they seek help of a veterinarian,he is prescribed anxiolytic meds with the admonishment, "Don't hesitate to use these" but nothing happens, Marley remained same. He was awfully disobedient, there was no minute when he’d be calm and quite, he was eating everything he saw: gold chain, shoes, curtains, kilograms of mangoes, plastic soldier, gum, towels, sponges, socks, napkins and many other interesting things. The whole story is soaked with the narrator’s/author’s/protagonist’s love to the dog, and the dog’s endless allegiance to his closest creature – the man. Another time, we came home to find that our four-legged footstool was now three-legged, and there was no sign whatsoever—not a single splinter—of the missing limb. This is a non fiction book because it shows real events and it can give you information that is true.

He rides along in the car when John and Jenny make a late-night trip to the pharmacy for their first home pregnancy test, and he’s there to celebrate with them when they discover they’re expecting a baby. Although Marley constantly tests the Grogans’ patience with his bad behavior, he becomes an established member of the family. I was reminded of what should be obvious but to often is not, that each today, each hour and minute, is worth cherishing. The speaker wasn’t knocked over or in any way amiss; the paper cone was simply gone, as if someone had sliced it out with a razor blade. Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog (2005) is an autobiography by journalist John Grogan.

The story begins with John’s memories of his childhood, when his father bought him a cute little dog he named Saint Shaun, as the dog was that kind of pet, who perfectly fit in the family, was the best friend to little John, who was a kind of wonder for the guests of the Grogans. Although a seemingly light-hearted topic, the story of this silly and poorly trained dog includes moments of heavy loss, disappointment, and grief. They were costs we came to accept and balance against the joy and amusement and protection and companionship he gave us.

His behavior is not perfect, it’s not even good: he eats everything he see, his saliva and hair is everywhere, he rushes both at friends and strangers, but everybody, who deals with him is deeply imbued with attachment to this madcap creature.Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He’s a praiseworthy man – loving husband and father, a good friend for other people and especially for his dog. Then John grew up, met his future wife Jenny, who, by the way, also had a dog, Saint Winnie, being a child. John Grogan tells this story in the first person as he reflects on the 13 years he spent with Marley, the family’s purebred yellow Labrador retriever. This book does have a sad ending, just to warn you, and it was actually the first book to make me cry.

But Marley was not your typical well behaved Labrador, as the title suggests he was 'worst behaved' so much that once mental illness was suggested but nevertheless he loved them and they loved him and honestly that's the only thing that matters. The deal I had struck with Jenny when I agreed to come here was that we would check the pups out, ask some questions, and keep an open mind as to whether we were ready to bring home a dog ‘This is the first ad we’re answering’ I had said. How Marley changed his life for the better, even if he had children and of course marley was very cautious with them.

John trained Marley no matter how long it took or how much he had to restart, he made sure Marley was trained and knew what and how to act infront of company even just in their house with John and his wife and kids.
