The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family in the making and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. He was there when babies finally arrived and when the screams of a seventeen-year-old stabbing victim pierced the night. Marley shared the couple's joy at their first pregnancy, and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behaviour, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Obedience school did no good - Marley was expelled. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women's undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewellery. Marley quickly grew into a barrelling, ninety-seven pound steamroller of a Labrador retriever, a dog like no other. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow fur ball of a puppy. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. The New York Times bestseller, with over 2 million copies of the book in print, read by the author. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a larger than life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans. Through it all, he remained steadfast, a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wits end. Shortlisted for the British Book Awards, Biography of the Year, 2007. Marley shut down a public beach and managed to land a role in a feature-length movie, always winning hearts as he made a mess of things.
