About the Author:

Everyone loves a story about a smart, well-trained dog. This is not that story.

John Grogan’s love letter to his incorrigible Labrador retriever, Marley, has been hovering at the top of the New York Times’ best-seller list.

Grogan spun the engaging book from his years with the ill-mannered, psychologically-challenged Marley. Through the touching stories about this needy creature, Grogan shares meaningful observations of life, marriage and fatherhood — not to mention the unconditional love familiar to anyone who has ever befriended a dog.

Grogan is the Pennsylvania columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer and the former editor in chief of Rodale’s Organic Gardening magazine. Previously he worked as a reporter, bureau chief, and columnist at newspapers in Michigan and Florida.

His work has won numerous awards, including the National Press Club’s Consumer Journalism Award. He lives on a wooded hillside in Pennsylvania with his wife, Jenny, and their three children.
 
In this exploration, we examine that mysterious bond between dogs and their people.
