Picture this, you're working in an office where you're allowed to bring in your dog but... you don't have a dog of your own. 

While you're feeling left out, out of nowhere, a strange yet magical and adorable misunderstanding results in you caring for a dog of your own! 

Well, sort of. 

That's what happened to Redditor u/SwarmTendon when a woman confused their office as a dog daycare center. 

Sometimes, dreams really do come true.

    Text - Posted by u/SwarmTendon 3 days ago 12 This isn't a dog daycare at all XXXL tl;dr at bottom A while back I was working in an office that allowed dogs. It was an open floor plan and since customers never came into the office, we kept the dogs food and water bowls right by the front door just because it was the most convenient space and no one else would see them but us who worked there. Of the six of us who worked in the main office area, I was the only one who didn't have a dog (no pets po

    Text - I didn't know what she was talking about at that point and I said "Come again? Who did you call exactly?" Thinking if I could just saddle her off to whoever she came to see, I wouldn't have to decipher her problem. She said "Well it doesn't matter now. Look, something urgent's come up and I really need to leave him here. Here's his food he likes and I'll be back in a few hours and-" at this point I wasn't thinking of the doggie daycare. I thought maybe she was a friend of someone here. I

    Text - At the end of the day the woman, thank God, came back. She said "Thanks, you're a lifesaver. How was he?" And I said "He was a champ." And was about to say "But why is he here" when she said "Thats a relief. Most kennels say he gets anxious around other dogs. I heard you operated at a much higher capacity, I was thrilled to see you had so few clients in the room at one time. So, how much do I owe?" And that's when I realized she thought we were a dog daycare. Now, I probably should've cor

    Text - But the next week... she came back! She said we were so much more affordable and less overcrowded than her other place that she was happy to use us. I was glad for the company so just took him. I didn't think there was any way she couldn't have at least some idea we weren't a dog daycare. The whole ordeal was so strange I just figured "don't question a good thing." (I was much younger and dumber then.) Not long after, Otis started getting dropped off two, sometimes even three or four days

    Text - Because one day Otis' owner came in holding the card and walked up to me and said "I can't even believe I'm asking this but... is that my dog in this photo? This isn't a dog daycare at all. This is just an office, isn't it." She said it with a note of surprise, as though she was looking around and putting it all together for the first time (no coincidence that this was the first time she wasn't in some crazy rush either.) She was like "Then who are all these other dogs?!" And I explained.

    Text - She seemed a little flummoxed or hesitant, understandably, because the whole thing was so weird. She turned to my coworker and asked if I was telling the whole truth (I don't know why she thought my coworker, also a stranger to her, was any more trustworthy than me, but hey. Strange times.) Coworker backed me up. So she said, "Well, I wish you'd said something sooner. Could've saved me a lot of embarrassment with my friend back there. Alright, I have to get going. See you at 4:00." And sh

To add to the wholesomeness I can share that as we got to chat with her some once it was all out in the open, she'd tell us how she'd never get tired of making jokes about it to people. Like, "Ive got to pick Otis up from work at around 4:00." And they'd all ask "what do you mean, is he a service dog?" And she'd say "Nope, he'
