* ABoyAndHisX: The film starts with John Grogan narrating his relationship with dogs over a shot of a young boy and his dog walking through a wheat field, implying them to be Grogan and Marley. It is immediately interrupted by the actual adult Grogan chasing an adult Marley over a fence into the same wheat field, screaming his name. The Grogans also got Marley as adults, but their children grew up with him.

* ObfuscatingDisability: Discussed in the book. Marley, despite going deaf, is somehow still able to hear food-related sounds. Because of this, John suspects he may be faking his hearing loss so he can have an excuse to disobey commands, but after testing Marley's hearing a few times, he determines that he really is losing his hearing and just loves food that much.

John immediately took Marley with him after he was put down and they had a funeral for him in real life too. The Disneyland trip was afterwards to try and cheer the kids up.

Most noticable, however, might be how John in real life had a dog as a child, and both he and Jenny were determined to have one together as they were both dog lovers. In the film, John comments that he's never had a dog before and he decides to get one on a whim, something he surprises Jenny with.
