Title: Lovely memoir of of a dog
Review: "Marley & Me" is a sweet, funny, sad, and warm memoir of a beloved family dog which was also untrainable, undisciplined and out of control. Any dog owner can identify with any or all of the quirks and behaviors John Grogan ascribes to Marley, yet the author clearly loved his dog, warts and all. That is a hard thing to do.Equally hard is hanging in there with a dog with so many issues. Shelters around the country are sadly overpopulated with dogs whose owners gave up on them. Grogan and his family stuck with Marley because, even with his behavioral problems, he was a loyal friend.Grogan writes in the vein of that other stellar dog memoir, "My Dog Skip," by Willie Morris. As a long-time dog lover, I now rank "Marley" a solid second behind "Skip." Don't miss it.
