Marley and Me/YMMV


 * Tear Jerker:
 * It's more tearjerker-y if you've had dogs. Especially if you tend to project emotions onto them.
 * Even more especially if you've had a dog put down or die in some way.
 * Why doesn't anybody ever write a pet memoir while the animal in question is still alive?
 * The Woobie: Marley becomes one in his later years
