Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog [Hardcover] by John Grogan

John Grogan had no idea what he was in for when he and his wife Jenny adopted a ball of energy named Marley. He was destructive, impossible to train and delightful. Loving, gently protective and always forgivable, Marley was an integral member of the Grogan household for almost 14 years.

Anyone who has loved a companion animal will find this book to be laugh-out-loud funny and, ultimately, very moving. For all Grogan's protests that Marley is "just" a dog and that he (Grogan) doesn't know why he's so attached to this loopy pooch, WE get it.

I laughed heartily at the descriptions of Marley eating everything from paychecks to gold necklaces, and read with trepidation the passages relating to his inevitable decline. Having shared those final years with several furry companions, I can declare from personal experience that Grogan gets these sections of the story heartbreakingly right. I finished the book in a few hours; it took a few more to stop crying.
