![]() * Used a choker with zeal, while almost deriving joy from Marley's near self strangulation ![]() * Failed to provide Marley with adequate protection from storms which completely terrified him * Failed to seek out a trainer to work with Marley's quirks despite obvious behavioral issues * Failed to do any research into the breeder * Read nothing about the breed before choosing to adopt a Lab * Decided to get a dog for purely selfish purposes (parental practice) In the half of the book I read, they did the following: More accurately, I think quite a bit of their behavior borders on animal abuse. What really stands out is that the author and his wife are horrible pet owners. Unfortunately, this isn't what I disliked most about the book. Perhaps I would have laughed at some parts of the book if Marley was my dog, or if I at least knew Marley - but he's not, and I don't. For this reason, there are no parts of the book that are truly funny. ![]() I have dogs whom I love very much, and often things they do I find to be very entertaining even though others might not derive the same level of enjoyment if I were to tell them all about it. ![]() Marley sounds like an amusing guy but I think pets are like kids - you don't get nearly as much joy from people telling you stories about their kids as you do from watching your own. This is a mediocre book written by horrible dog owners. ![]()
