Title: Not for True Dog Lovers
Review: I read this book a few years ago and at first did see the humor in it, though I do agree with another reviewer here that these people were to dumb to have a dog, especially a lab, well-known for their kind disposition but difficulty with training. My real problem with this book is the ending, and *warning*, this is a spoiler for those who haven't read it yet. After years of putting up with these two idiots as owners, Marley who becomes old and ill (as old animals will do) also becomes inconvenient when the family decides it would like to take a vacation. Yes, they put the dog down because he is now in the way of their fun time - pathetic. I'm not saying that eventually if an animal is in pain decisions like this need to be made, but that was not the case in the book. It's just another example of the throw mentality most humans have when it comes to pets.
Is the review positive or negative?
