Did you see that I think we've replayed it what maybe 5000 time anyway not exactly a pool of blood.
But that visitor not getting in the friendly C world welcome -- expected actor in dog expert Donna Earley says cozy up to a dog.
Might be a better idea to decide -- so much else that -- -- really hot that's selling out.
Author of Broadway sensation.
It's a -- etc.
and -- I hear your voice of where you -- -- aren't so lucky enough field -- so well I have a six year old now to seven trying to do is much in the in the in the field of children's program is potential that he watches a body of work but he understands this is an -- -- and we're about to show little well he's a big -- print interconnected -- six years -- you really have you really -- a cornered the market heard Reynolds on her -- up.
-- -- -- Your take on this is that we could do worse than than than to bring our.
The well thought if I was -- say.
To -- enterprises I have -- way for you to create a better working environment with happier employees healthier employees and employees -- improve their performance.
And the employee benefit didn't -- you anything go well that's pretty interesting -- -- and the proof is in the numbers.
Allow people to bring their pets to work its work for Purina they've -- they're they're the spot that's what I do we have a Third World they've actually make.
Pet nutrition don't do anything when dogs who has I don't think food for us -- -- well it's not -- of the dogs are sampling during the day either -- quite yet it is a fifth spot -- there there is obviously they have dawn breaks and they're allowed to take the model and it's a normal but that's the normal -- -- Take a break from work.
Focus on work if you -- get home it -- -- not to see great it pays off if you want out there and you watch 2000 people come -- to the building appearing.
And you watch the 150 dogs or plus brought into the that day as well and you walk around -- less -- a bottle but three days out there filming.
And I came up with the idea for the -- said is one of the most enjoyable places to be in corporate America.
And the numbers prove me out that in Saint Louis that Purina has been named for four years rolled the best place to work and they retain their -- feet -- -- Tom.
-- reason to know what I'm not necessarily show -- -- well then it doesn't belong at work.
-- -- -- and how well do you think load your little darling night might be your little darling but is someone else that they and -- bundle dogs dogs don't come with a obedience degrees they have to be instilled a certain amount of -- And you wouldn't bring you don't draw you Lorraine and you don't bring your dog to work unless you're willing to sign a of form.
So anyway kind of -- -- what -- you've -- basically you know you assume you assume the responsibility for the dog.
And the dog's actions give it doesn't cut away if I'd say you know John -- that report for -- yet -- on this.
With my little and that's not the -- -- more more often than not if you walked in anybody's office of the there.
That the Fido is sleeping in the corner quite happily but the fact is that they are there.
It creates a different work environment people around -- they don't have that.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Yeah yeah -- -- is that.
-- -- How did you get anything I'd go back to the concept of -- -- -- born with obedience degrees.
If you train your dog there's no such thing as a bad dog aren't all bad all right help but it given that a dog didn't like.
Yes OK does that dog is is that your your -- Cubicle mate is taking that.
In the work what would you say do well the dog basically stays within the cubicle and the dog will not be allowed on the promise to solicit some reason they -- good -- Well unless it's a good dog it doesn't it it doesn't -- -- promises and there is a working environment and rules were working environment were fed bought into distraction -- support this -- -- -- you have that we -- more productive more productive animals until healthier.
People are healthier when they do what they are.
They may lose fewer work days.
Because when the -- listen when dog gets sick and it's part of the family.
You go to the vet rather than going to work and that's the studies have shown that gonna get sick at work and inconvenience everyone gets.
-- but I thought you aren't so acerbic I don't know I don't get too but I would see the proof is in the relative large numbers has been working beautifully -- what.
Purina is doing is are doing a nationwide search now for the most pet friendly businesses are having a contest so to speak when they search for the the most pet friendly businesses.
Between now in the middle of January you can go to Purina dot com signature story with photos and -- supporting evidence.
They're gonna -- a wonderful low 101000 dollar giveaway to a pet shelter in their name -- in the name of the other business as well as giving them all sorts of Purina pet friendly products for the business.
But I think it's wonderful idea only because I've seen it when I hosted a -- when -- hosted to tell the truth.
For three years we love dogs and children backstage for the celebrity panel and it was the greatest working environment even someone like you would actually.
I had my children here.
That it's easier to difference that is violent animals are up.
And that is -- I think -- -- -- but you're still doing great.
Could printing the money everywhere -- everything is going very well I still keep Chicago in the belt I'm going back is -- -- little.
But an ice tour without with Christie Brinkley and -- -- -- and -- -- -- door with receiver and there was nothing to -- -- you know for the guy for the guy couldn't get a -- to junior -- to have -- on your -- every -- -- how to better listen -- it is still with -- was so what's left of -- I'm John thank you very McKinney is general -- -- and the decent articles in the world of entertainment there are few.
