Marley routinely fails to "get the idea" of what humans expect of him at one point, mental illness is suggested as a plausible explanation for his behavior. He is strong, powerful, endlessly hungry, eager to be active, and often destructive of their property (but completely without malice). Marley, a yellow Labrador Retriever, is described as a high-strung, boisterous, and somewhat uncontrolled dog. Told in first-person narrative, the book portrays Grogan and his family's life during the thirteen years that they lived with their dog Marley, and the relationships and lessons from this period. It has subsequently been adapted by the author in three separate books, as well as separately into a comedy-drama film released in 2008. The dog is poorly behaved and destructive, and the book covers the issues this causes in the family as they learn to accept him in addition to their grief following Marley's death. Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog is a New York Times bestselling autobiographical book by journalist John Grogan, published in 2005, about the thirteen years he and his family spent with their yellow Labrador Retriever, Marley. 2005 "First Edition" stated William Morrow publishers, New York hardbound in red and ivory boards with red lettering along spine very good condition with unmarked pages pictoral dust jacket has minor edge wear - see pics.
