The hilarious and unforgettable true story that delighted millions of readers worldwide and became a smash-hit film starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston.

John and Jenny were young and deeply in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow fur baby, and life was never the same again.

Marley quickly grew into an uncontrollable 44-kilo steamroller of a Labrador retriever. Expelled from obedience school, even the tranquilizers prescribed by the vet couldn't stop him. Yet, through the chaos and the hilarity, Marley won hearts and remained a model of devotion to his family, even when they were at their wits' end.

Marley & Me is the heartwarming story of a family in the making and the wondrously neurotic dog who showed them that unconditional love can come in many forms.

Reviews for Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog

Mr. Grogan knew the workings of Marley's mind. He makes that abundantly clear in MARLEY AND ME, a very funny valentine to all those four-legged big, dopey, playful galumphs that seemed to love life with a passion not often seen in this world. It's a book with intense but narrow appeal, strictly limited to anyone who has ever had, known or wanted a dog. - NEW YORK TIMES a sweet, funny tale - THE AGE A must for anyone who's ever had a canine pal - and even for those cat lovers who might be persuaded by the merits of man's best friend. - SUNDAY HERALD SUN Labrador retrievers are generally considered even-tempered, calm and reliable - and then there's Marley, the subject of this delightful tribute to one Lab who doesn't fit the mold . . . Grogan's chronicle of the . . . overly energetic but endearing dog is delivered with great humor. Dog lovers will love this account of Grogan's much loved canine. - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Grogan . . . offers a humorous and loving tribute to Marley (after Bob Marley), his late 100-pound yellow Labrador . . . Readers will delight in this tribute; recommended. - LIBRARY JOURNAL Expect to laugh, cry, and shake your head as you read this book. John Grogan understands that the journeys that people and dogs sometimes take together are a reflection of us and our world - of our own humanity and of the joys and sorrows and ups and downs of life.
