A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things - a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight.

Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty.: John Grogan, Marley and Me, 2005
