After the runaway success of ''Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog'' author John Grogan discovered that families were coming to readings of the book, that parents were reading parts of it to their children, perhaps censoring some of the parts which they felt unsuitable for young ears. The original book had not been written with children in mind and it was this which persuaded him to write ''Marley: A Dog Like No Other'' which is based on the original book but Grogan has reshaped it to make it more child friendly and removed the more adult content. There's also another book, [[''Bad Dog, Marley!]] '' which is aimed at the three- to seven year olds. This review looks at '' Marley: A Dog Like No Other.''
John and Jenny Grogan had been married for just a year when Marley came into their lives. He was eight weeks old and an adorable bundle of yellow fluff that grew into a one-dog demolition machine. The pure-bred Labrador Retriever was constantly in trouble when he destroyed furniture, crashed through doors, stole underwear or drooled on visitors to the house. If there was a wrong way to do it, Marley did it. He was even expelled from puppy training classes. He was, though, the most loyal of dogs and the Grogan's three children grew up with him constantly at their side.
