Bookroo's summary

Meet Marley, the Grogan family's new Labrador retriever, whose boundless energy and mischief know no bounds. From devouring jewelry to flunking obedience school, Marley tests the limits of chaos and love. As his antics escalate, the Grogans must decide if this lovable troublemaker can ever become the well-behaved companion they hoped for. Will Marley find his place in the family, or will his wild spirit prove too much to handle? Discover the heartwarming journey of a dog who teaches his family about patience, love, and the true meaning of home.

From the publisher

Make way for Marley!When the Grogan family is ready for a dog, they choose Marley, a yellow furball of a puppy who quickly grows into a large, rowdy Labrador retriever. Marley has a zest for life, and as he grows, so does his enthusiasm. He has an appetite for whatever he can get his paws on–from fine jewelry to underwear–and the one thing he always finds is trouble. Marley even gets kicked out of obedience school! Can this rambunctious pup ever learn how to be a good boy?
