The Rocketeer

Cast: Bill Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Alan Arkin, Timothy Dalton, Paul Sorvino

In the tradition of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Rocketeer is a full-throttle blast of thrills, fun and dazzling special effects. Set in glamorous 1930s Hollywood, it tells the story of Cliff Secord, a down-on-his-luck pilot who stumbles upon an incredible invention - a top secret jetpack that allows him to soar through the skies like a human rocket. But before long, a sinister spy (Timothy Dalton) plots to steal the jetpack, thrusting Cliff into a dangerous mission that ultimately transforms him into an extraordinary hero. Praised by critics as a most entertaining film, Rocketeer is high-flying action-adventure at its very finest.

Newly married John and his wife Jenny were both animal lovers, and they decided to buy a dog for their home, prior to having children.

At times Marley used his great strength to destroy property, and tended to chew through doors, strongly built dog crates, and even basement walls and doors, especially when impelled by his lifelong phobia of thunderstorms. At other times he dragged people and furniture around when he wished to socialize with other dogs or explore scents…
