American Kennel Club officials liked the film "Marley Me," but they worry about the effects such movies have on people who rush out to get a dog.

It is absolutely silent inside the man-made dugout in the snow but gradually the sound of a dog barking becomes more and more audible.

The much vaunted global economic slowdown did not manifest itself at Intersec trade fair and conference 2009, the second largest security exhibition in the world as attendance crossed 17,206 (at the time of going to press), an increase of 20%.

Seen "Marley & Me" yet? Feel like rushing out to get yourself a Labrador retriever? Dog movies have that effect on people. Moviegoers watch a particular breed bonding with its owners. They laugh or perhaps cry with the pooch's antics and by the time the popcorn's gone, they've made up their minds to get themselves one of those dogs.

If you aren't familiar with Labrador retrievers, don't judge them by the unruly behavior of Marley from "Marley and Me."
