"A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will just do fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart of dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?" -John Grogan from MARLEY AND ME
A movie inspired by the book written by John Grogan. I have the privilege to watch it a while ago. It is based on the true story. The story deals with the journey of John Grogan from the time he got married till parenthood. But aside from John and his wife Jenny, another central character of the story is their labrador, Marley.
The dog became a part of their life when they bought him as a puppy in a farm raised by a dog breeder till his death. He was named Marley by John because they were listening to a Bob Marley song on their way home. During his younger years, they named Marley as the worst dog. He nips on pillows, scratches the furnitures, eats three times a day and addicted to mangoes.
Marley became a part of John's promotion, Jenny's pregnancy, the birth of the Grogan kids and John's 40th birthday. He was also an inspiration in his columns. The kids love Marley because whenever they came home from school, he will be there waiting for them and they will race towards his house. The saddest part of the movie is watching him die in the veterinary clinic and the entire family have to bury him at their backyard.
It was indeed a touching movie that teaches us the value of treating our pets extra special, especially dogs. They are man and woman's bestfriend. A dog doesn't have to eat expensive dog foods or being paraded in a fashion show, they just have to be treated with the same amount of love and affection because they also have feelings. Treat them right and they will reciprocate it with the same amount of love and affection in return.
