ledegennaro's review against another edition
3.0
This was a very cute compilation of stories about dogs. As a dog lover I related to a lot of Alison's experiences and feelings towards her animals. All of her animals came across as having awesome personalities that I really liked hearing about. It reminded me of what it would be like to just listen to a friend talk about her pets and I did like that.
My favorite chapters were the ones that dealt with her dating adventures. Pace dealt with each scenario with men and Carlie in a way that was relatable and funny. I laughed out loud at descriptions of the not quite hairless dogs Keith had, and felt for her when she lost what seemed like a great guy because he wasn't interested in her dog.
There were a few chapters that I felt were irrelevant. I didn't understand why the story about archeology was included and the one that was told entirely in second person seemed off to me. But overall most of the essays flowed together very well. I will definitely look into reading her novels.
