IT IS IN RL, NOT FOOTPAWS UNFORTUNATELY. Any friendly dog that wants pets before I go home.

Yes, quite specific. It is what happened before yesterday that got me exhausted- me delivering almost to the length of travel from San Francisco to Los Angeles in total, but starting at a later time. Me working at the grocery delivery company that specializes in local foods had a major backup in the warehouse end and I had to wait almost 3 hours to have my route. I had to deal with an angry customer too. Once I finally finished my route, it was another whammy that occurred- one working the night shift had her car broke down, and I had to do a rescue. From one end of a county to the other, I had to take half of the stops remaining.
I was working for nearly 10 hours, basically!! ?You can say that all the driving can take its toll on me-I do enjoy exploring lands, but I do have to take breaks, but for this despite breaks, I was hot, thirsty, and I was so tired from driving-I did do the rescue because soon there will be cons returning, and I would like to accrue sick hours so I can go to a con with paid time off. In the rescue part of deliveries, I finally got to my last stop. It was fenced with dogs, and I was worried that if it opens, they will go get me. I was wrong. I had to do two rounds in putting parcels of food at the gate, and after getting one pair of boxes down, I got the second-I went "OH!" as the border collie dog was peering in the small space under the gate-head trying to go through. It was as if it were trying to go to me, but it was whining! I thought he was stuck, but he was able to move his head easily. Somehow, as I have heard that doge can sense fear in an individual, maybe it could sense other emotions. I did sense it was trying to get my attention and have me pet him. I did remember that I can't be friends with any pets, but with what I have been through, I would want a bit of comfort.
He was then licking my shoe that was near him-that got me thinking that he does sense that I have had a bad day after I did have some loud groans and sighs of anguish for the day. AS it would be a precaution to go slowly to the dog, I did have my palm out to him to show no harm- but he was eagerly trying to lick it. I did eventually boop its nose and I did pet his jaw and patted his muzzle. My heart was warmed and it melted when his eyes closed-savouring the hand cuddle, and liking my hand. I did have to leave as I was still on the clock, but right away after saying goodbye, the dog left, but the next thing that surprised me was that he was barking in a way to say happiness, but somehow, it was like he was encouraging me or cheering me on! Was it a thank you to me too? Did it sense my feelings have changed to happiness after petting him??
I will never know what the dog was thinking, not have I took dog psychology classes, if ever. Wherewith, it seemed that that friendly dog actually felt what I felt, and was somehow mentoring me in saying "Be happy, everything's going to be OK." It is one of these little, unexplained things that another species would do to a hooman. It did give me insight that really, dogs are a man's best friend. The border collie did end my day on a good note, and I did go home a bit happier.

Can it ever be that the barrier of talking to animals could be broken? It is close to being reality as some cats and dogs are able to talk, but they could have the ability to give and feel, I'll say.

So yep, dog furs, take this as an example if you are furred...you may not be alone in perhaps 1/4 millennium from now...
