You so need to read the book!!!
I actually had to gag myself one night because my husband was sleeping and I was laughing so hard!
This is a true story, actually the writter is a Journalist and he often wrote about his dog... over time people were so addicted they wanted all his articles put into a book aka Marley and Me.
It does have a sad ending but is also a tribute to all dogs. That we love our dog now because they are here now. Same with our human loved ones.
The movie does not do the book justice...as usual!
I hope you read and enjoy the journey
