ABOUT THE DOGS:
Mafia joined owners Alice and CJ Pavlisko in 2005. She was originally named "Princess," but they felt the name didn't quite fit. From the beginning, they noticed Mafia's aversion to strangers. Alice is afraid Mafia's fear aggression may cause her to lash out.

Jack is a Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua mix that lives with owner Michael Pourmohsen. Jack has never been to work with Michael at the advertising firm because he barks at other dogs.

Because TBWA/Chiat/Day promotes rescuing shelter dogs, Romy Flint was inspired to adopt Grady, who was scheduled for euthanasia when Romy found him. But he bit three people at the firm and was banished from the workplace.

ABOUT THE OWNERS:
Alice Pavlisko is a project manager at TBWA/Chiat/Day Advertising. Her husband CJ is great with dogs and has actually been called a "dog whisperer."

Michael Pourmohsen is a print producer for the ad agency. Together, he and his partner Beto Dominguez care for ten-year-old Raspberry and 8-year-old Jack.

Romy Flint is an account management supervisor at Chiat/Day. Though Romy has had dogs in the past, Grady is the first dog she's owned by herself.

BEHIND THE SCENES:
The hardworking dogs at TBWA/Chiat/Day unwind at the company's own "Central Park," a small off-leash dog park. And for the humans who work like dogs, there is an indoor basketball court.
