And the Winner of the Marley Lookalike Contest Is...
So, OK, there's no contest, but if there were a contest, I think I just found the winner. Jamie S. from Reading, Pennsylvania, sent me a letter describing her yellow Lab pup, Rudy, and describing how shocked she was to see the cover of Marley & Me in the bookstore. "I was immediately drawn in because the picture of Marley looks just like my Rudy, a now 9 month old yellow Lab," she wrote. "I have attached a puppy picture of what our Rudy looked like only a few months ago."
I clicked open Jamie's digital image of Rudy...and low and behold, it was like a young Marley was staring back at me. Not quite the same, but pretty darn close. Take a look at Rudy, then at 12-week-old Marley on the cover of the book. What do you think? Separated at birth?
By the way, Jamie goes on to write: "Your story reminds me of us. We have only been married a year and a half and as soon as we bought our house a year ago we decided to get a dog that spring. And our lives have never been the same...we are in love with our POOCH! We have taken him to two puppy classes and he goes to a puppy play group every Saturday. He doesn't listen to me at all and has eaten more socks and undergarments than I can count. He brings us so much joy (and frustration) everyday, but all of it is worth it."
Oh, don't I know that drill....
