Marley and Me "The Best Golden Retriever."
Labrador Retrievers are a good dog breed to have as a pet. They are good with kids and they are very loyal. They are even cuter as puppies. The Labrador Retriever that I enjoyed watching in a movie was Marley.
As with most good movies, the movie starts out as a book, Marley and Me is based on a New York Times best seller novel written by John Grogan. The novel was written in 2005. John writes about the thirteen years his family lives with a possible neurotic, "untrainable", golden Labrador with a heart of gold.
The star in the movie Marley and Me was Owen Wilson. Marley was played by a golden Labrador Retriever.
In case you never heard about this movie, I will give you a basic plot.
The movie attracted the attention of Hollywood, and people all over the World learned about this cute yet precocious dog named Marley in 2008.
The Movie Plot
Marley is described as a high stung, boisterous, uncontrollable puppy that is owned by Owen Wilson. Owen costar is Jennifer Aniston. The dog is powerful, endlessly hunger, eager, and mistakenly destroys property without malice. Owen thinks that the dog just might be psychotic because he seems to not understand what humans expect from him. Marley's disastrous behavior is forgiven because he has a heart of gold.
The family decides to accept Marley for his natural personality.
Did you enjoy this movie? Marley was definitely the star in this movie and Owen Wilson seems to the King of dog movies. His love of dogs come out in this movie.
Marley's Death
Unfortunately, Marley dies from gastric dilation volvulus (a stomach torsion condition).
John Grogan wrote an eulogy in the newspaper, and he received overwhelming support from the public.
Marley & Me has been rewritten into three different books:
Marley: A Dog Like No Other, for younger readers who would enjoy reading about Marley's story, without the sexual content in the original
Bad Dog, Marley!, a picture book for readers learning to read in lower grade levels
A Very Marley Christmas
The Author's quote about Marley:
'In good times and bad, in sickness and in health' really means something. We didn't give up on Marley when it would have been easy to, and in the end he came through and proved himself a great and memorable pet."
