John Grogan

"Number one on the New York Times best-seller list, this hilarious, yet touching memoir of "life and love with the world's worst dog" by Philadelphia Inquirer columnist John Grogan appeals to everyone. Marley's unruly behavior, fierce loyalty, exuberance for life, and unconditional love leave a lasting impression on everyone. He may not be perfect--he's kicked out of obedience school--yet he's always there for John and his blossoming family. Whatever...

Marley, a rambunctious puppy, makes himself at home while causing lots of trouble but then proves in a very dramatic way that he is a valuable member of the household.

With his trademark blend of humor and pathos that made "Marley & Me" beloved by millions, John Grogan tells the powerful story of a son in the making--a universal journey of love, faith, and family that explores what it means to break away and find the way home once again.

Marley spots two motherless kittens by the side of the road and his family gladly adopts them, but as he tries to copy the cute behavior of the little felines, the large puppy causes more and more trouble.

Cassie gets to bring home the chicks her class hatched at school, but when Cassie leaves Marley alone with the chicks and the latch opens, the chicks escape and Marley must try and return all the chicks to their cage before mom and Cassie get back.

When a pair of kittens joins the family, an exuberant Marley enjoys teaching his new friends all about life at the house, from where to wait for Cassie to where not to sniff, until a thunderstorm reveals helpful lessons that the kittens can teach.

When Marley gets in trouble he runs away but then he learns that his family always loves him.

Marley the dog explores the firehouse.

When Marley's family visits Uncle Bob's farm, Marley tries to help with the chores by rounding up the chickens and herding the sheep, but he seems to just get in the way.
