'Marley and Me' film has special meaning with its Michigan roots

I can pretty much predict which post-holiday movie my clan will head out to see.

"Marley and Me."

Not because we are all dog people. I, for one, am a cat person surrounded by dog admirers.

For those unfamiliar with the plot, the story lovingly revolves around Marley, a devoted but crazy canine whose owner dubs as the "World's Worst Dog."

We'll likely go see the film, out on Christmas Day, because of Marley's "Dad" -- or owner, or whatever dog people like to call themselves.
