Newly
married John and his wife Jenny were both animal lovers, and they
decided to buy a dog for their home, prior to having children. The dog
they acquired as a puppy (named Marley after singer Bob Marley) rapidly
grew into a strong adult, but despite their efforts at dog training (he
was kicked out of his first dog obedience school by the instructor, who
John Grogan called Ms. Dominatrix), he mainly did not accept the
authority and directions of his owners. At times Marley used his great
strength to destroy property, and tended to chew through doors,
strongly built dog crates, and even basement walls and doors,
especially when impelled by his lifelong phobia of thunderstorms. At
other times he dragged people and furniture around when he wished to
socialize with other dogs or explore scents…
There will be a movie based on the book coming out near December 2008,
starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston.
