I don't have time to read the adult version so I tried this. The adaptation works quite well for younger readers. Young animal lovers will take this adorable galoot's story to heart.

The author and his wife purchase Marley, a Labrador retriever, as a puppy. The owner's reduced price for Marley should have indicated the challenges ahead, but his exuberance wins the couple over. Marley proves to be a big, lovable galoot. He's expelled from obedience school, is frightened by storms to the point of destructiveness, and eats anything, from Kleenex to his mistress' 18K gold necklace.

This is a funny, heart-warming tribute to a loveable, dopey labrador and a faithful friend. Marley made me laugh and he made me cry. A wonderful story! ( )

Okay this book was sooooo disappointing. They basically took out all of the sad events that occured in Grogon's life. We need to give teens more credit then this.
Marley is a crazy dog. He is a little loopy and funny and basically untrainable. He is petrified of thunder. He drags his masters on walks. He steels food. This book is a basically excerpts all of the funny incidents from the grown up version. ( )
