Kathleen Parker demands to bring her blind poodle to work

Kathleen Parker, Eliot Spitzer‘s sassy sidekick in “Parker Spitzer,” demanded a clause in her CNN contract allowing her to bring Ollie, her blind, 5-pound poodle, to the studio. The pup, which was found in a shelter and has been featured on the show, either sits in her purse on the set or in a doggie crate in her office. “Surprisingly, the dog sits still like a stuffed animal,” a staffer told us. A source said that despite Parker’s pet-friendly deal, she’s still weighing options should she leave the show, and has been in talks with TV agent Alan Berger of CAA. Berger’s office denied a business relationship and CNN declined to comment.
