坏狗Marley, I ache-inside miss him!

凌晨3点多,将最后的70页看完,Marley到了13岁,在大雪来临前安详的逝去.狗的生命比人短暂,你看着他的一生,小乳狗,成年,壮年,暮年,渐渐耳聋眼花,行动迟缓,器官衰竭..提前看到了人的一生,都得这样的离去.

他一直是只问题拉布拉多,冥顽不化,训狗师都放弃了他.他是个大个子,将近100磅,精力充沛,却能被电闪雷鸣吓到失魂落魄.总而言之他远不是一只理想的拉布拉多,但他的忠诚和可爱却让他永远不可替代,即便在他去世后.

前面250页会让你不由自主的大笑,比如他无耻的抢五岁小儿盘子里的蛋糕吃,比如他一个劲的吃芒果拉芒果便,比如他在Florida的狗海滩乱喝海水以至于在众目睽睽之下出尽洋相..而后面50页让你揪心.我停了几天才准备好了接受Marley老去的现实,哭了,看到他颤颤巍巍的楼下楼下寻找男主人直至精疲力竭,看到他躺在男主人的睡衣旁放心睡去鼾声如雷,没有狗比他更忠诚,there will never be another dog like Marley.

引用Grogan的总结:
Marley tought me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he tought me about optimism in the face of adversity, Mostly, he tought me about friendship and selflessness and, about all else, unwavering loyalty.

A dog judgs others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his. It was really quite simple yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not.
