John Grogan, the author of "Marley and Me" has teamed up with the AKC and Twentieth Century Fox for some Public Service Announcements (PSAs)about responsible dog ownership. It's a great idea, because when the movie comes out on Christmas Day people will fall in love with Marley like I did when I read the book. Before they rush out and get one, they need to know that cute Lab puppy will turn into "100 pounds of thundering, hairy, yelping, jumping, drooling, go-exactly-where-you-don’t-want-them-to-go… commitment. In a word: Marley" as Mr. Grogan says in the PSA.
Plenty of purebred pups end up in shelters, too, when people decide they are too much for them to cope with. Kudos to all for doing the ads.
