Marley and Me by John Grogan

Shortly after John and Jenny Grogan get married they decide

there is something missing from their life. A dog. They chose

a cute little yellow lab and name him Marley. The little fuzzy puppy soon

became a huge 90+ pound dynamo of energy. Through the ups

and downs of their life together I found myself laughing and

sometimes crying as the author recalls his life with Marley for

over 13 years.
