The instant New York Times bestseller-a funny and poignant memoir about a wildly neurotic Lab retriever and an unsuspecting young couple who come to learn what really matters in life.
Klappentext zu „Marley & Me “
The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family in the making and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into a barreling, ninety-seven pound steamroller of a Labrador retriever, a dog like no other. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole womens undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewelry. Obedience school did no good - Marley was expelled. Neither did the tranquilizers the veterinarian prescribed for him with the admonishment, "Dont hesitate to use these." And yet Marleys heart was pure. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless,too. Marley shared the couples joy at their first pregnancy, and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. He was there when babies finally arrived and when the screams of a seventeen-year-old stabbing victim pierced the night. Marley shut down a public beach and managed to land a role in a feature-lenghth movie, always winning hearts as he made a mess of things. Through it all, he remained steadfast, a model of devotion, even when his family as at its wits end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.
