John Grogan ha sido un premiado reportero gráfico y columnista por más de veinticinco años. John lives with his wife and their three children in the Pennsylvania countryside. John Grogan is the author of the #1 international bestseller Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog, the bestselling middle-grade memoir Marley: A Dog Like No Other, and three #1 best-selling picture books: Bad Dog, Marley!, A Very Marley Christmas, and Marley Goes to School. Marley & Me is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Obedience school did no good - Marley was expelled.īut just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Marley grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. They were young and in love, with not a care in the world. John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans.
The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life.
