When newlyweds John and Jenny welcome a 97-pound Labrador puppy named Marley into their home, their lives descend into chaos. The destructive canine crashes through doors, chews furniture, and wreaks havoc everywhere he goes. Yet despite Marley's unruly antics, his boundless love and loyalty guide the couple through the ups and downs of building a family, from a heartbreaking miscarriage to the joy of parenthood. Through it all, Marley remains a steadfast, if unorthodox, companion - proving that the key to happiness can be found in the most improbable of places.
