Meet Black Jack Suratt, Star of Marley and Me
The yellow Labrador retriever shown below is Black Jack Suratt, the star of the 2008 film, Marley and Me. The movie is based on John Grogen’s book of the same title and the basic plot is that a new couple decides to adopt a dog as a way to see whether or not they are ready to start a family. They try to train the dog, but he seems untrainable, so they end up taking him to a trainer who also fails to accomplish their goal. Although the dog is out of control, one of its owners, who is a writer, starts to write his column about the misadventures of the dog. His column quickly becomes a hit and the couple soon has a baby. The dog grows on them and despite its crazy behavior, they decide to keep him. Other big things happen after that, but you will need to watch the movie to see what those are.
