The payoff to this story of a mix-up between an office and doggy daycare gets 10/10

Although people loved SwarmTendon’s story, it was made even better with this update:

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, “I’ve 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’s an accountant.”

She once went so far as to take a nonbeliever on the drive with her and walk him into our office then walk out without him. She was just beside herself cracking up as she explained to us the joke she was playing. We could see her friend’s puzzled/shocked reaction from the car as she emerged without him and got a kick out of it too.

He’d never want to get up to leave (I think he just never wanted to get up) and without fail, every time she got him, she’d say “What’s the matter buddy? Long day at the office?” And laugh hysterically.

It’s a rare story that has so many winners – SwarmTendon, Otis, Otis’ owner – and us.

It was obviously too good an anecdote to confine to one platform, so @funfettiwestern shared it on Twitter, where it’s been retweeted by more than 8000 people.

These comments show just how much people loved the not-so-shaggy dog story.

It was summed up by Redditor, u/TheGaspode, who said

I love this story. Otis sounds amazing, as does the lady. Started with confusion, ended up with everyone being happy in the end, and you got a good boi to fuss over.

Hands up if you really want an office dog.
