Following the box office smash hit of
Marley and Me, the world's most misbehaved dog returns in Marley & Me: The Puppy Years as a loveable pint size puppy.
This time Marley spends the summer with his owner, Bodie Grogan, who has to
live with his strict veteran grandfather while trying to prepare Marley for the
neighborhood dog agility contest. This is a fantastic adventure filled with
fun, laughs, and love.
The fire fighting
Dalmatian isn’t the only working dog in town – there are many other types of
heroic doggies, from the Seeing Eye dog to the St. Bernard Mountain Rescue
ranger. In Marley and Me: The Puppy Years, the Marley saves his team by
escaping the junkyard. We take a look at some well-known pet professions and
pick up Marley and Me: The Puppy Years out
on Blu-Ray Disc and DVD August 16th!
- Border Collies – Border Collies are often used
for herding sheep and other livestock on farms because of their natural
pack instinct. They take direction well even from a distance which makes
them ideal for working. They will also protect their charges from
predators like wolves and coyotes.
· St. Bernards – St. Bernards have a long
history serving as rescue dogs, especially in the mountains. They are known for
their size and strength which helps them rescue people who have been trapped.
St. Bernards are comfortable in the cold and have a keen sense of direction so
it is no wonder they were often used in avalanche territory.
- Newfoundlands – These dogs are also often used
for rescue but are more suitable for doing so in the water. Newfoundlands
are excellent swimmers because of their webbed feet and their
water-resistant coats make them likely lifeguards. This makes them
particularly common aboard lifeguard boats and out at sea.
- Dalmatians – Dalmatians are often associated with and were
used in iconic imagery of the firehouse. They were originally engaged by
firemen to clear the path for fire trucks that were pulled by horses
because of the congenial nature of both animals. Even though horses are no
longer employed the canines have stuck around to guard the house and the
firemen.
· Australian Sheppard’s – like the Australian
team in the movie, these dogs are fantastic farm animals that are known for
their tremendous skills in herding. They are also known to be amazing search
and rescue dogs, disaster, guide, and detection dogs.
·
Beagles – These intelligent dogs may be small
but don’t let their size mislead you. Because people aren’t automatically wary
of them, beagles can be used in places like airports and train stations as
detection dogs. Their sense of smell is excellent for uncovering drugs,
explosives and other forms of contraband.
- German Shepherds – German Shepherds are extremely loyal and smart dogs that can be trained to do a number of tasks. They often serve as guard or enforcement dogs for the police by doing tasks such as hunting down criminals and sniffing for bombs and drugs. Though their size can intimidate this can be useful for cops and the military that need to instill fear in suspects.
· Golden Retrievers
– Golden Retrievers like
Marley are great dogs and make for even better work dogs. These dogs can
be working in anything from sniffing out things like bombs or drugs for the
police to being guide dogs for the blind.
Also retrievers can track things like other animals extremely well,
which is why they make for great hunting dogs.
