One night when John was almost asleep he heard a scream. He and Marley both went outside and saw some of their neighbors out their already. Some of them were chasing after a guy. When John got out there they told him to wait with the girl. She was 17 years old and her name was Lisa. John went over to her and tried to calm her down, by stroking her hair and saying soothing words to her. Things he would do to his own kids to calm them down. While John was staying with the girl Marley was on the lookout for the returning criminal, he looked different in the way he was standing and acting. John knew that if the criminal returned Marley would fight him till the death.
Another night when John was asleep Jenny woke him and said she was going into labor. She was only 21 weeks pregnant and knew this was not good. They rushed to the hospital and she was in labor, the doctors gave her medicine to stop the labor. When she was able to go home she had to be on bed rest until the baby was 35 weeks old. This was very hard for Jenny, because she could not play or pick up her son or do anything around the house.
Soon after Jenny got off bed rest she went into labor and they had another boy named Connor. Now with a toddler and newborn neither of them were getting much sleep. This made Jenny get angry very quickly at John and especially Marley. One night she even told him that she wanted to get rid of him, but after awhile she was not made anymore and said she would never get rid of him.
Marley may not be a well trained dog, but he proved to John the night of the stabbing that he would protect them if they were ever in danger. Marley was Johns best friend even after all of the damage John had to clean up and fix because of Marley.
