Marley & Me

I don't doubt a surge of Labradors in the near future, particularly Labradors named "Marley."

...as well as pitbulls named "Daddy"

Probably so. At first I didn't think so because of how "bad" Marley was, but they may latch on to the loyalty part of him. If there is a surge of new Lab owners I sure hope they adopt from shelters. There are more than enough labs looking for homes.

I bet your local library has it - and better than Netflix - it's free!

Haven't read the book but hoping to see the movie. Who is Jennifer Anniston.. is that the girl who looks (or who is) in Friends? The movie looks so wonderful!

Yes- Jennifer Aniston is the girl in 'Friends'.

About the Surge of labs, I really don't think so. Although it shows loyalty, maybe it will convince people that Labs are big dogs who need a pretty strong hand to take care of them. It may show they need cosistent training. Marley does honestly seem like the world's worst dog though.

I have the possibilty of getting a new dog this summer, and to tell you the truth I think it *may* be a lab, but for the record this movie wasn't the icing on the cake for that idea. My parents like the breed, ALOT. I said I wanted an ACTIVE dog, and they said maybe a lab.

I havn't read the book, although I really want to. I went to see the movie last week. It is great. I loved it! I can't wait to read the book. I'm sure it's even better.
