I found Marley adorable, and the ending of this book was heartbreaking. Towards the end of his life, Marley could hardly walk, he was going deaf and blind, and they didn't take him to the vet to perhaps go on pain medication to help with his obvious arthritis sooner. They could see he was in pain. Then, they shipped him off to the vet to take the family on a Disney vacation shortly before the end of his life. I understand not wanting to face that it's time to say goodbye to a beloved pet; I have dealt with that several times. However, at some point, you have to weigh whether you're keeping them around selfishly rather than ending their suffering. I don't doubt for a minute that Marley was loved and a happy dog. What I can't get behind is allowing an animal to suffer the way he did at the end of his life. For that reason, this book only gets 2 stars from me.
Bring out the kleenex, this is a great and well written tribute to a crazy dog.
I cried so much at the end. This was a great book!
This book was well written, entertaining and showed what it is like to truly have a special dog in your life. It made me laugh, cry and want to hug my own dog. It's a must read for dog lovers!
Not one I would reread just because it is sad, but I enjoyed reading the story of this man and his dog. I thought it was well written and easy to read, but not in a boring way. It kept my attention, but definitely more for dog lovers
As someone who’s worked with animals this book made me cringe. There were definitely some things the owners should/shouldn’t have been doing.
I didn’t enjoy the author’s writing style. It occasionally came off as condescending or judgmental towards other characters.

Wonderful book. Hilarious! It makes you love and remember the pets you have! You realize how much a part of your life they really become. It makes me want to go get a dog.
