Marley & Me

A comedy drama about a yellow Labrador pup who grows up with a family and is a bit of a nightmare to deal with but still much loved by the family. I have a chocolate Lab called Barney so I could relate to the film. He's like Marley, and probably even a bit more trouble. He got taken back to the seller by another family after two weeks before we got him because he was so much of a nuisance. When we first got him we wanted him downstairs but he used to howl all night so he ended up sleeping in bed with me. He rules the house and we now call him Barney Bear because he's bloody huge.
