Marley the Dog -- on YouTube
Perhaps you've heard that there are some people in town shooting a movie about a dog named Marley. You also might have heard that these same people were at Sun-Sentinel this week, shooting scenes for said movie, about a dog and his owner, former Sentinel columnist John Grogan.
Now, Watch This Now brings you something that the paparazzi, People and Us Weekly have not yet discovered: Exclusive video of Marley the Dog. The real Marley.
Turns out Marley was in a movie, before his life became the subject of a movie. Marley's film debut came in The Last Home Run, which was filmed in Lake Worth a decade ago.
I found this clip early in the week, in a search for some Marley-related video, but thought it was just coincidence that a Labrador named Marley was in a movie. Then, while pretending to work at my desk while in the background of a scene for Marley & Me, I found an old Grogan column on the Sentinel's web site about Marley's movie role.

Check out Marley as himself in The Last Home Run:

For him, it's a crossroads where college humor and the most valuable scholarly information can be found and, in some cases, even melded.
