** This troper has never read/watched Marley & Me, and doesn't want to because the ending is exactly what happened to his dog. She started losing her sight, hearing, her ability to climb the stairs. One day, we came back from a vacation and the kennel she was at told us she couldn't get up anymore. That was that. We were there to see her off, and we made sure she knew she was loved. Her name was Josie. She was a wonderful dog.

* The end of the book wherein it's described that Marley had to be put to sleep because they couldn't really do anything, which was also made pretty bad in the film, too. It's gained a sizable legacy among modern audiences as a TearJerker because of ''how close to home'' it hits, since people are much more likely to experience the death of a pet in their lifespans, even children.

** The ending montage of Jenny sitting there in the living room, waiting for John to return. The oldest son, Patrick, watching home videos with Marley ''crying'', he really was the only old enough to fully grasp what was happening, and John with Marley at the vet's. The vet assures him before proceeding, "He won't feel a thing, he'll just slip away." Marley's eye drifts close, and the movie ends with a ''funeral'' where Jenny places the necklace that Marley ate at the beginning movie in the grave with Marley, and says [[CallBack "Goodbye, Clearance Puppy"]].

* The end of the book wherein it's described that Marley had to be put to sleep because they couldn't really do anything. This was also made pretty bad in TheMovie too. It's probably one of the ''most triumphant examples'' of a TearJerker in the 20th-21st century because of ''how close to home'' it hits, since people are much more likely to experience the death of a pet in their lifespans; even children. Very reminiscent of ''Film/OldYeller'' without [[ShootTheDog shooting the dog.]]
