  BookPage Interview March 2006: John Grogan
But John Grogan, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, didn't need to create the exploits in his blockbuster memoir, Marley & Me: the inspiration for the book, his yellow Labrador retriever Marley, got into enough verifiable mischief and mayhem to fill a few manuscripts without straining a paw.
Grogan's chronicle of their attempts to curb their beloved beast has body-slammed the bestseller lists (Marley would be proud) and was named a best book of 2005 by the New York Times (which Marley would have eaten).
Grogan eventually had to open an online bulletin board and his publisher is sending him out on a "book tour reprise" this spring, since readers can't seem to get enough of Marley.
