Redditor SwarmTendon was the only one in his dog-friendly office that didn’t have a dog he could bring to work with him.

His apartment had a no pets policy which made him feel “horribly left out” around the office.

But as fate would have it a woman in a terrible rush gave him the gift of getting to know and spend time with a very sweet dog.

You see, she thought she was dropping her dog off at daycare.

But it was actually an office.

And since SwarmTendon loved having the dog around so much he kept the ruse going.

It’s quite an interesting story of misunderstandings that ended with a lot of fun.

“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,” SwarmTendon explained in their Reddit post.

One day a frantic woman came into his office with a giant basset hound named Otis and asked if SwarmTendon worked there.

She explained that she wasn’t sure if they took walk-ins and asked if she could just leave her dog there.

SwarmTendon assumed that she had spoken to someone in the office who said she could leave her dog there.

“So I took Otis (the dog) to the back and showed him to my coworkers and no one knew the woman or dog. I was worried she wouldn’t come back, but at the same time, my wish for an office dog had been granted! And Otis was supremely chill. All he did all day was lie around and drool onto his own ears. I just freshened him up every now and then, took him out every couple hours, and he was happy as a clam on a big cushy dog bed we thankfully had an extra of. He just loved attention from anywhere he could get it.”

Once the woman came back she asked how much her dog’s stay was.

SwarmTendon kindly only charged the woman $20.

She was shocked to learn how cheap it was and left.

“My coworkers were laughing hysterically when they realized what had happened and we thought it would just be a good story for the future. 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.)”

The woman eventually figured out that her dog was staying at an office and not a doggy daycare.

SwarmTendon was terrified that the woman was going to try and take legal action or demand her money back.

“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 she left Otis! I couldn’t believe it!”

That dog ended up staying in the office until his family moved away.

Thankfully, SwarmTendon wasn’t too lonely without the dog because he ended up getting a new job.
