Marley & Me: The Puppy Years (2011)

Yearning for a puppy of his own, young Bodi Grogan is left in the care of his stern Marine veteran grandfather, Fred, for the summer. His only consolation is the mischievous Marley - a borrowed pup with a voice as frisky as his antics. As Bodi grapples with his fatherless life and the relentless rhythm of his workaholic mother, Carol, he sees a glimmer of hope: if Marley behaves well, he might just get to keep him. Seizing the opportunity, Bodi decides to enter Marley into the local puppy obedience show, a competition that demands teamwork and discipline. With the help of Fred's jovial neighbor, Crouch, he enlists the aid of two sibling pups, Moose and Fuchsia, to form their unique team. But the road to victory is fraught with challenges. They face the ruthless reigning champion, Hans Von Weiselberger, who doesn't hesitate to cheat, and his henchmen, who intimidate their own Doberman puppies. As the underdogs, Bodi, Marley, Moose, and Fuchsia must navigate through chaos and mischief to prove their worth. In this spirited adventure, Marley, the world's naughtiest dog, not only outsmarts his competitors but wins hearts along the way. Together, they learn that the power of unity and a little military strategy from grandpa Fred can conquer even the most daunting challenges. In the chaos of dog contests and summer antics, Bodi and Marley form a bond that might just lead Bodi to the pet he's always dreamed of. This is a tale of friendship, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between a boy and his dog.
