Marley, the Dog of the Day
Name: Marley
Age: Sixteen months old
Gender: Female Breed: Great Dane
Home: Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, USA
 
   Marley has brought so much joy into our home, I honestly can't imagine my life without her. We got Marley at eight weeks old and she weighed a whopping twenty pounds. Now she weighs 125 pounds and stands about 39 inches tall. I tell you this because Marley has absolutely no idea of her size. For all she knows she is a Chihuahua. She is gentle when playing with small dogs or cats, but can play just like a big dog when playing with larger breeds. Marley is so loving and friendly. Everyone is her friend. We go to the dog park most every day and she knows everybody. One man told me that no one could ever steal Marley, because everyone knows who she is. Recently, at the dog park, a smaller dog 1/3 her size was barking at her and "hurt her feelings". After a couple times of this, Marley crawled up on the park bench where I was sitting and tried to get in my lap. What a sight. She keeps the people at the park in stitches. Even though her size could be intimidating to someone, her loving personality sets people at ease immediately and she steals their heart. She really is a gentle giant.
