You Tell Your Dog First…
About the date you just had…about the questionable results of a medical test…about the good and the bad…about everything.
For years, award-winning author Alison Pace was a dog person without a dog. And then, she got Carlie—a feisty and fluffy West Highland white terrier. She could weed out bad boyfriends with a sniff of her button-black nose and win the hearts of lifelong friends with an adoring gaze. Suddenly, Alison had a constant companion and confidante, who went with her on long morning rambles in Central Park, on trips to the country and the beach, and on her search for inner peace, love, and happiness. Through Carlie, Alison found herself connected to the world as never before.
With her trademark warmth, wit and humor, Alison shares her stories…the tales of a dog person who found her dog.

Charming and witty; a must-read for dog lovers
By Casee Clow
Throughout her career, Alison Pace's stories have been graced with the moniker of "dog lit". But for Alison, many of the years spent writing novels about dogs, and essays about dogs, and book reviews about books about dogs were years spent without a dog of her own. Growing up in a house with no less than four dogs at a time, Alison is a lifelong lover of the animal with a wealth of memories for all the dogs she's known. Living in New York City, though, has its dog-related difficulties, and pursuing the presence of dogs in her adult life found a way of becoming a lingering dream. In her new memoir, You Tell Your Dog First, Alison recounts, among other things, her decision to finally get a dog of her own: including the hunt for the perfect dog-friendly apartment, the extensive search for the appropriate breed, and the many adventures that come with dog-ownership. The dog at the center of the book, and at the center of Alison's delight, is Carlie, a West Highland white terrier.
There are so many things to love about You Tell Your Dog First, most especially from the perspective of a dog person. Whether you own a dog or fawn over the ones your friends and family have, there comes a time when your love of the animal borders a bit on eccentricity (or so people tell you) and reading Alison's essays evokes the feeling of camaraderie that alights between dog people: the sense that we understand each other, that we "get it". In that way, You Tell Your Dog First is like sitting down with another ardent dog lover to talk about our shared passions; our dogs. Alison's charming and witty narrative conjures a cozy environment that allows the reader to spend some time in a happy place, hearing her stories about Carlie and the adventures (or misadventures) they find together in the city and the country. As much as the stories in the book are about Carlie, or dogs in general, the stories are also about Alison. Her genuinely personal approach to writing about the special self-discovery that comes with dog ownership lends yet more warmth to the narrative. She examines Carlie's ability to root out bad boyfriends, strike up friendships with like-minded people, and ultimately guide her smartly through life. You Tell Your Dog First feels very much like a tribute to the way dogs lead their owners.
I've been a fan of Alison's books for years, and this might be my favorite of her works to date. While her writing has always been wonderful, the reader sees her prose blossom under the subject of Carlie, and the wit and wisdom the Westie has brought into her life. As a result, the book shows the opening up of a person's heart in the way that only a dog can achieve. The solidarity I felt with Alison and the adoration I felt for Carlie made the experience of reading You Tell Your Dog First a wonderfully personal examination of the joys dogs bring into the lives of the people who love them. This is a book impossible to overlook for dog fanciers, and one readers will likely want to visit again and again for the beautiful way it captures the dog-and-person relationship.

Fun, light read for dog lovers
By Megan
In a world of cat people and dog people, Alison Pace is firmly in the dog camp.
Well, actually . . . that's sort of underselling it. Pace, author of novels like PUG HILL and A PUG'S TALE, is a serious dog person. In YOU TELL YOUR DOG FIRST, a serious of canine-related essays, Pace recounts her fur-filled childhood, creation of a life in New York City, writing career and -- eventually, quite happily -- the adoption her own West Highland White Terrier, Carlie. It's heartwarming non-fiction with chew toys, cute guys and dogs roaming free in Central Park.
I'll be the first to admit I'm also in the dog camp. I grew up with dogs, love dogs, get excited at the prospect of visiting a friend with a dog. When others coo over adorable babies, I'm reaching for the squirmy mutt at their feet. If my boyfriend had a dollar for every time I squealed, "Oh my God, look at that dog," he could retire quite happily, get a bunch of cats and leave my dog-hair-covered self in the dust.
So for someone like me? Someone who, as Pace's title suggests, tells her dog the big news first? I was all about Pace's funny, cute look at life with canines. I loved her descriptions of growing up with a literal pack at the homestead and could relate to her feelings of being a dog person without a dog. Living in New York City, Pace's options regarding pet-friendly rental buildings are complicated. And when Carlie, a former show dog, comes into her life? Well, Pace will move mountains to find a good living situation for them both.
If you're not nutso for pets, I can see readers rolling their eyes at some of the antics -- but the charming thing about Pace is that she never takes herself too seriously. Aware that some of her behavior could be seen as excessive, she often pokes fun at herself and reminds Carlie that she knows "Mommy is acting crazy." It's funny, and I understand. I'm not above dog-talk myself. I mean, my dog has a theme song.
YOU TELL YOUR DOG FIRST is a quick read with insights as to how four-legged friends make our lives all the richer, and I really enjoyed Pace's musings on the unconditional love and companionship of dogs like Carlie. If this book sounds like it's up your alley, it probably is. A fun, light and heartwarming read -- would make a great gift for dog lovers, too.

A LIFE WITH DOGS CONNECTS YOU TO THE WORLD....
By Laurel-Rain Snow
A dog person without a dog, Alison Pace set about to change the texture of her life to include one. She had grown up with numerous dogs, but in her first NY apartment, dogs were not allowed.
Told in an anecdotal style that leads the reader through the various tales of her life, You Tell Your Dog First is a funny, poignant, and inspirational read that hooked me immediately.
The first dog in the author's adult life is like a touchstone, telling her a lot about potential friends, dates, and even activities. As a writer, she had a lot more flexibility to her days until that time when she decided to work in an office three days a week. Then we watch as she diligently searches for just the right daytime companionship for her Westie named Carlie.
I have enjoyed several of the dog stories from this author, like Pug Hill and A Pug's Tale. I'll be watching for the next novel from this extremely engaging author. Five stars
