Even after years of abuse from his owner and a lack of food and clean water, Marley never lost his spirit. Chained up for more than five years and disciplined for getting too excited, Marley didn't even recognize his own name before being rescued by PETA. Now Marley is healthy and happy adopted into a loving home, complete with a comfy couch to sleep on and a doggie friend to play with!

See more of Marley's story on PETA's blog post, and get more information about PETA's efforts to help animals here.
