In Marley and Me, Marley gets really sick and runs away and they find him and take him to the doctor. They knew Marley may not be with them long and that made them very sad but they still enjoyed the time they had left with him. He got sick again and the family said their goodbyes and then he took Marley to the vet to put him asleep. It was a very dramatic time but they got through it and burried him in their yard and said their official goodbyes to Marley. It was a very good book and I watched the movie right after finishing and it was a lot like the book and really sad, funny, and good.
