NEW YORK, NY - Catherine Russell is the iron woman of New York City theatre. In more than twenty years of starring in the show Perfect Crime, she has hardly missed a performance. As Pet Pulse’s Joey Wahler tells us, the actress’ near perfect attendance at work is matched only by that of her dogs.

Glad that she can bring her animals to work. Must be nice. Helps her to interact more with her pets and get them even more socialization.

I love this idea, so many businesses have daycare on site to help with employee attendance, its to bad something can't be worked out with pets as well, If you have an unruley pet it gets banned but if you have well behaved babies this should be allowed at a lot more places.

She's lucky she has a job that allows her to bring her dogs to work. Most people can't. I saw her play MANY years ago, she was also tearing the tickets as you entered. She has very fortunate dogs.

I would love to take my dogs to work with me every day. I always feel so bad leaving them at home. I think that it is great that she gets the change to have her dogs share in her work.

It's wonderful to read about the love and devotion between dogs and their owner in such an unexpected place - a New York City theater.

I am glad to see that the dogs too are responsible and show up for work each day. I guess it is difficult for a dog to play hookey or call in sick.

This show has run for twenty years! I wonder if she ever gets bored w/8 shows a week. At least she can bring her pups on those long days.

I really enjoyed the video. I wish every dog had the kind of owner that this woman is. What a marvelous person to take her dogs to work at the theater every performance. you can tell she really loves her dogs and they love her and just love being around the theater. Interesting and good feeling story.

These are lucky dogs to be able to be such a huge part of their human's life. And they appear to bring a lot of companionship to the others workers at the theater also.
