LOCAL DOG

GAZETTE PICK: Brodie Middleton

Fans ask him for a "paw-tograph." The yellow Labrador from Monument is one of eight adult dogs in the hit flick "Marley & Me." Hollywood trainers groomed him for the role of the lovable bad-boy pooch. Brodie still has "Marley days," but the training helped stop some of his old tricks, such as digging through the bathroom trash can.
