Marley & Me

A journalist and his wife adopt and attempt to train a goofy, destructive, but utterly loveable, loyal pet labrador retriever who remains an integral part of their evolving lives as their family expands to include their three children. Despite the trials and challenges posed by the rambunctious, misbehaving dog, they recognize how important he is to their family and as he ages, they realize how much he's taught them about love and loyalty.
