Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What breed of dog was Marley?

Answer: Labrador Retriever

John's first dog, as a child, was a mutt who also had golden coloured fur.

2. What was Marley's biggest fear?

Answer: thunder

Marley's fear of thunder was so bad that he was prescribed tranquillisers.

3. At the start of the book, the author mentions his childhood companion; who was this?

Answer: Saint Shaun

The dog in question was the opposite to Marley in every way, picking up tricks first time round and an all-round perfect dog. He was rescued from a mutt-ranch as a puppy and was the only puppy not to back away from the loud clank John made on the pen gate.

4. What was the name of the dog breeder who sold Marley?

Answer: Lori

Lori, knowing that Labs tend to take on their fathers' temperaments, tried to keep Marley's crazed, energetic father, Sam, hidden from John and Jenny.

5. Is it true that, originally, the dog breeder wanted 375 dollars for the male pups?

Answer: Yes

Although originally wanting to sell the male pups for 375 dollars apiece, the breeder eventually sold Marley for only 350 dollars.

6. Marley is named after Bob Marley.

Answer: True

The couple (Jenny and John) discovered the Jamaican reggae singer when they moved to South Florida from Michigan, and it seemed at the best moments in their young married lives, his songs were playing in the background.

7. What's the name given to Marley's "dance" when he has something he shouldn't?

Answer: Marley Mambo

Whenever Marley had stolen something, his whole body would begin to wiggle, from head to toe, as if in dance, hence the name Marley Mambo.

8. The formal name given to Marley by John was "Grogan's Magic Marley of Churchill".

Answer: False

In fact the formal name given to Marley was "Grogan's Magestic Marley of Churchill". This was the name given to Marley for his AKC registration and was also used when he started his obedience classes.

9. Which famous "dog" beach did Marley and John visit?

Answer: Sherman

Dr. Sherman was the person who had to break the news to Jenny about her miscarriage of her first child.
