Book 17, Marley, A Dog Like No Other

This was a funny story of a dog owned by writer John Grogan. Since it is the true story of Marley's life, the book would be a biography. John Grogan writes for a newspaper and included his dog, Marley in his column over the years. There was a movie out last year based on the more adult version of this book. I think this one was done after the movie. I have read the adult version and have seen the movie so there weren't really any surprises. I can make many connections though. I too, own a lab. Marley was a yellow lab, but mine is a black one. She can be quite silly as Marley was. She like Marley is afraid of storms as is Daisy, although she has never destroyed a garage. The book reminded me of the sad fact that our dogs don't live as long as we do.
