I have had 2 dogs in my life so far.
Smokey is our family 1st when he accompanied us through schooling, dating and career stages. He was most unfortunate to be there when we were immature and often busy, preoccupied with our activities to care for him.
Time spent on him was little. And we had abruptly decided to put him to sleep in his old sickly age of 16 years. High medical expenses were the other push factor.
It was sad that many a times; our most loyal friend was neglected of his feelings and basic needs, taken for granted, as a foil in our 'busy' short living time frame.
As portrayed in the movie, a 'troublesome' dog maybe the first thing we would put away in the face of our hectic day agenda.
As in Life, it is imperfect, and often messy with many trying moments of unforeseen circumstances. A dog helps sprinkled that genuine sweetness and humor between the saccharine and all the sadness.
Playing ball, giving him a good rub, a pat or a cuddling session is more often our needs than his.
Amid the natural wear-and-tear of the many relationships we have, the one with the dog is unceasing. Be it a reprimand session or after an abandon act, he never bores resentment and greets you with his wettest kiss when he sees you again.
This is the compelling charm a dog exudes, in their most innocent & honest display.
Marley & Me isn't cinema, it relates to everyday people like you & me in our mediocre life, real and without being dull.
