book Õ Marley Me Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog Í John Grogan
John and Jenny were just beginning their life together They were young and in love with a perfect little house and not a care in the world Then they brought home Marley a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy Life would never be the sameMarley uickly grew into a barreling ninety seven pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever a dog like no other He crashed through screen doors gouged through drywall flung drool on guests stole women's undergarme SO my mom sent me this book because she thought I was all down after a stupid break up and she wanted to cheer me up I wasn't really down I was totally fucking pissed off I went into reading this book seeing red Maybe that's affected how I interpreted it but I really think this John Grogan guy and his wife are complete idiots There is no reason to ever buy a dog ever Ever There are dogs dying all over the country because people abandon their animals or neglect to have them spayedneutered and these two roll up to a backyard breeder to pick out and pay for a puppy? Total bullshit I am so against the mentality that a certain breed has the traits someone is looking for or is the kind of dog they grew up with and have fond memories of and therefore has to be bred sold and paid for Go through a rescue group if you INSIST on being a breedistAlso? There are no bad dogs only bad dog owners World's worst dog? World's worst dog ownersThat being said I don't think these two abused their dog or anything They were completely unprepared ignorant and arrogant and I can not respect that at all If they weren't sure about having a dog and wanted to practice keeping something alive they should have fostered At least then they could have either backed out or adopted and had helpadvice along the way I didn't totally hate it though I am just awfully adamant about animal rights and buyingselling dogs is pretty much similar to buyingselling people to me
