Do you love your pet dog? Do you and your family have a bond with that puppy unlike anyone else? Then you must see the movie "Marley and Me." This film is truly a love story between a family and their pet dog named Marley. Watching this film on Movies on Demand on our satellite tv bundle provided one of the best bonding experiences for my family that we have ever had.

"Marley and Me" will leave you with tears streaming down your face. The film depicts how one dog ultimately influenced the successes and journalism career of one man. One man became so inspired by the trouble Marley created, that he wrote about Marley in his weekly column for a newspaper. The column became one of the most read in Florida, ultimately allowing the man to take on larger journalism gigs. As the family continues to achieve success, Marley the dog becomes plagued with an illness. The dog grows sicker and sicker, which leaves the family devastated. Ultimately, Marley dies and the family has to cope with the tragic loss and the pain Marley's loss has created. This film is a story of one families struggles to cope with love and loss.

"Marley and Me" is a great film for the family that can teach you and your kids how to prepare for coping with the loss of a beloved pet.
