This great article gives you a sneak peek behind the scenes of the new "Marley & Me" movie with Marley's trainer, Mark Forbes. I bet dog-lovers and movie-buffs alike will enjoy it:
From a very young age, Mark Forbes knew his ocelots from his emus, mostly because he was surrounded by them. "I grew up in southern Oregon, a town called Grants Pass," he said. "Normal childhood. I guess the only difference was we had a small little family farm, and we had a bunch of different kinds of animals on it. At that time, everyone thought emu would be the next chicken, and so we sold breeding stock to much larger farms."
[...] Most of the 22 canine actors that played Marley were encouraged to tap into their inner bad dogs. "It was different from any movie we'd really done before in that this was supposed to be the most out-of-control, rambunctious dog there ever was," said Forbes. "And so we definitely looked for, in each team, a dog that had that personality trait. [On] our 1- to 5-year-old team, we had five dogs. And we had Ziggy. 'Crystal Meth,' they called him when we brought him on the set. He was just a crazy dog. And then we had Clyde, who was sort of 'Trained Crystal Meth,' but just had a wild streak in him.
