When the economic crisis is raging in the world, it seems a bit hypocritical to be sentimental for a dead dog.
It is a Labrador named Marley and lives with his owner John and Jane and his wife.
On the wedding night of John Jerogan and Jenny Jerogan, a heavy snow came unexpectedly. Therefore, the newlyweds decided to leave the freezing winter of Michigan and head to the West Palm Coast of southern Florida to start their new life. After arriving at the destination, they found a job as a reporter in the two competing newspapers in the local area, bought a house, and started their married life. Everything was a new beginning.
Unsure whether he was ready to raise his children, John confided the matter to his friend Sebastian, who is also a colleague of the newspaper. Sebastian proposed a perfect solution for John, that is, John should give Jenny a puppy, and said that raising a dog is actually very simple, it is nothing more than taking a walk, feeding things, and releasing it from time to time. Play.
Thus, the yellow Labrador dog Marley entered the family. Unconsciously, the Marleys raised by the Jerogans have grown from a cute, 12-pound puppy to an active, restless, energetic, and 100-pound big dog. As a result, Jerogan's house suffered severe damage. It also does not obey discipline at school. Its various misdeeds include breaking the sofa, knocking over the trash can, stealing Thanksgiving turkey, destroying pillows and garden flowers, drinking water in the toilet, chasing United Parcel service staff, etc. Wait. Even the expensive new necklace given to Jenny by John was swallowed by it.
As Marley grows up, it has witnessed the ups and downs of the family life of the Jerogans, the work and the changes in their homes that accompanied them, and the most important thing is that it has witnessed this gradual change as a part of the family. All the challenges and difficulties experienced by mature families. Slowly, John and Jenny realized that Marley—the world's most mischievous dog—has become the most important part of their emotions.
From the beginning of the formation of this family, until you became a family of five, Marley was with them, the two couples raised three children, moved twice, Jenny became a good wife and mother, John became a famous columnist, It has witnessed everything from a young man to his father to middle age to experiencing a mid-life crisis. It is a part of his life.
When autumn came, the maple trees in the yard changed from golden to red, and the grassland on the outskirts was golden. Marley was old. John was sentimental. He walked with Marley in the autumn scenery, feeling the abundance of life and the melancholy of autumn.
As someone commented, this is an American dream, a career with achievement and dignity, a rich family, a villa, three children, a man and a woman, two people who love each other, and one who accompanies them all the way. dog.
On the outskirts of the wilderness, John said to Marley: I know you are strong, but when you are uncomfortable, please tell me?
Marley died, and the Johns buried him in the yard. John said that a dog may not be as valuable and useful as famous cars, villas, and brand-name clothes. It is enough to give him a branch soaked in water. A dog, whether you are poor or rich, clever or stupid, witty or clumsy, You love him with your sincerity, and he returns with your sincerity. How many people can do this in the vast crowd? In the world, how many people will make you feel precious, innocent and particularly intimate? There are a few people who will make you feel like this in life. . . . Unparalleled?
