Marley and Me

[Bridget]

Crap, I'm in the minority again. I absolutely loved the book, read it three times to date, but actually was terribly disappointed in the movie. I didn't think the movie gave enough time to incidents that were hilarious in the book and introduced some characters that weren't in the book and to me didn't seem to matter (like his boss). Also, as I believe someone else already mentioned, it seemed like the movie was really just about the family and the dog was just an incidental. Sometimes I thought he seemed like more of a prop.

Timber,

If you like the Bedlam farm dogs (which I do!!), have a hop over to one of the author's blogs. He blogged about doing therapy work (specifically working with hospice patients) with Izzy the Border Collie. I choked up reading more than once (and I'm not a crier).

It hasn't been updated since late 2008, but start at the beginning and I can guarantee you'll get hooked.

Thanks and I agree. The movie was terrible.

Regarding the subsequent poster, I appreciate the recommendation. We are headed for a dog competition, and during down time I need a good book to read.
