Sample Book Insights:
#1 When we got married, we knew we wanted children someday, but we also knew that our family home would not be complete without a dog sprawled at our feet. We had grown up with dogs, and loved them immensely.
#2 We had just bought a house in West Palm Beach, and we spent months refurbishing it. We brought home a large, four-legged roommate with sharp toenails, large teeth, and exceedingly limited English-language skills.
#3 A breeder, or hobbyist, is someone who breeds dogs for love rather than money. They will usually have a distinct bloodline for each puppy, and will sell them for cheap.
#4 When we brought home Clearance Dog, he turned out to be a very loveable puppy. But his strange, joyous gaze left me slightly creeped out.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

We had a fight on the drive home from the breeder’s, and we could not agree on what to name our Clearance Dog. We decided to name him after Bob Marley, our favorite musician, because it was such a achingly beautiful song.

#2

I wanted to enter Marley in dog shows, so I decided to add the name Grogan’s Majestic Marley of Churchill. Jenny didn’t like it at all.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

I was relieved to learn that the Labrador retriever is a loving, even-keeled animal with a gentleness for children. However, the literature is filled with warnings about the breed’s intelligence and loyalty.

#2

The American Kennel Club sets standards for the qualities a Labrador should possess. Physically, they are stocky and muscular, with short, dense, weather-resistant coats. Their fur can be black, chocolate brown, or a range of yellows.

#3

I was excited to get a new puppy, and I was sure that I would be the one to train him. I was overjoyed when I returned to the breeder’s house to get him, and was shocked when I saw how big he had grown.

#4

When I got home, I led Marley into the house and unhooked his leash. He began sniffing and didn’t stop until he had sniffed every square inch of the place. Then he sat back on his haunches and looked up at me with cocked head as if to say, Great digs, but where are my brothers and sisters.

#5

I had to sleep with my dog in a cardboard box in my bedroom. His cries could not be muffled by the concrete walls.
