Marley and Me is a book written by John Grogan and is based on a true story.
It's about John and his wife Jenny, who just got married. But when the subject of having children comes up, John kind of gets a dog instead. A yellow lab named Marley. The book follows Marley's life from beginning to end and which goes through a 13 year period.
Also, a movie was made on this story in 2008. I highly recommend both book and movie.

Is it the one when Marley has to be euthanized in the end of it? If yes, I know of it. I saw the movie part of the ending on YouTube and it was quite sad.

Arghh, that's sad. It sounds like a good book. If I ever find it on a bookstore I'll definitely buy it!

Yeah, you should Kops...
And it is sad, SM. It brings out so much emotion. But I still think it's worth reading for any dog lover, or even animal lover!
