Marley from ‘Marley & Me’

Based on John Grogan's hit book, Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog, the Hollywood flick starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson followed the journey of a couple and their rambunctious pet, Marley. Animal trainer Larry Madrid handled 22 different pups to portray the pooch in the movie-and six were rescues, according to the movie's DVD. Rudy, one of the A-list dogs, was spotted by Susan Woolley and Dean Kagawa at the Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida. Then injured, the dog was about to be put to sleep by local animal services. They adopted Rudy and were later contacted by Madrid, who was seeking a rescued Labrador for the Marley role.
