I don't like the "Marley" series but this was less offensive than most of them. This reminded me of my dog's obedience class experience (although, he wasn't kicked out). Every time people see me with my dog, they yell, "Marley!"

humorous story about Marley attending, and promptly getting kicked out of, 'puppy school' a good choice for dog lovers.
