A Dog Like No Other

Marley

Marley e eu: a vida e o amor do,pior cão do mundo

John e Jenny tinham acabado de se casar. Eles eram jovens e apaixonados, vivendo em uma pequena e perfeita casa, sem nenhuma preocupação. Jenny queria testar seu talento materno antes de enveredar pelo caminho da gravidez. Ela temia não ter vindo com esse 'dom' no DNA, justamente porque matara uma planta, presente do marido, por excesso de cuidado - afogando-a. Então, eles decidiram ter um mascote. Vão a uma fazenda, escolhem Marley, ao tomar contato com uma ninhada, porque também ficam encantados com a doçura da mãe, Lily; depois têm uma rápida visão do pai, Sammy Boy, um cão rabugento, mal-encarado e bagunceiro. Rezam para que Marley tenha puxado à mãe, porém suas 'preces' não são atendidas. A vida daquela família nunca mais seria a mesma. Marley rapidamente cresceu e se tornou um gigantesco e atrapalhado labrador de 44 kg, um cão como nenhum outro. Ele arrebentava portas por medo de trovões, rompia paredes de compensado, babava nas visitas, apanhava roupas de varais vizinhos e comia praticamente tudo que via pela frente, incluindo tecidos de sofás e jóias. As escolas de adestramento não funcionaram - Marley foi expulso por ter ridicularizado a treinadora. Mas, acima de tudo, o coração de Marley era puro. Marley repartia o contentamento do casal em sua primeira gravidez e sua decepção quando sobreveio o aborto. Ele estava lá quando os bebês finalmente chegaram e quando os gritos de uma adolescente de dezessete anos cortaram a noite ao ser esfaqueada. Marley 'fechou' uma praia pública e conseguiu arranjar um papel num filme de longa-metragem, sempre conquistando corações ao mesmo tempo em que bagunçava a vida de todo mundo. Por todo esse tempo, ele continuou firme, um modelo de devoção, mesmo quando sua família estava quase enlouquecendo. Assim, eles aprenderam que o amor incondicional pode vir de várias maneiras.

Bad Dogs Have More Fun

Mein Hund Marley und ich

Mommy, Daddy, Cassie, and Baby Louie welcome Marley, their new Labrador pup, into their family. But Marley doesn't stay a tiny puppy for long. He grows and grows, and the bigger Marley gets, the bigger trouble he gets into. Big, bad-boy trouble. Whether it's chewing Mommy's reading glasses or swallowing Daddy's paycheck, Marley is a dog like no other. He tries to be a good dog, honest he does, but everything he tries ends up bad. Then one day Marley goes too far. Will this family have to find a new home for their big, crazy, pure-hearted dog? Inspired by John Grogan's bestselling memoir, Marley & Me, this heartwarming story shows that loving someone, flaws and all, can reap huge rewards.

Bad Dog, Marley!

Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans. John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with 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 grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good -- Marley was expelled. But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Marley & Me is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives.
