Anyone who is a dog lover, and especially a lab lover, should definitely read this book!
Marley and Me tells the story of a young couple who decide to get a puppy as a way of testing their parenting skills before trying their luck with actual human babies. What makes the story interesting is that they don’t just get any puppy; they get a Lab puppy without realizing that Lab puppies are known for, well, utter and tireless chaos and destruction. And it becomes clear, very early on, that Marley is no exception. As most Lab puppies do, Marley grew startlingly quickly from a snuggly fuzzy little yellow fella to a 97-pound Juggernaut in whose path nothing and nobody was safe. The book is a testament to the many profound ways in which dogs affect and become an integral part of the lives of their human owners.
You will laugh, smile and cry when reading this book as it touches on all emotions throughout the story. I would definitely give this book an A+ and can't wait to go see the movie!
I agree, Sarah...this is a fantastic book and a must read for any dog lover. :) Our next dog will probably be a lab (perfect for running).
ReplyDeleteHave you jumped on the Twilight bandwagon yet? If not...I highly suggest you do. I was easily drawn in and couldn't put the entire series down.
