John Grogan

A true account of a dog named Marley.

Marley the rambunctious puppy and his family prepare for Christmas, hoping very much for snow.

Marley the rambunctious dog sniffs his way to Cassie's school and spreads chaos as he searches for her.

John and Jen are journalists who are a newly married couple. Marley is the adopted puppy that no one wants, a high-strung lab who is virtually untrainable. Marley shreds cushions, destroys floors and walls and most everything in between. Instead of taking him to the pound, they love their dog and he faithfully loves them in return. John and Jen eventually have three children and Jen gives up her career to be a mom. John's career continues to advance...

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'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.
