It was actually said to a therapy dog that was there for the day, but I saw a reaction, then she saw me see the reaction, and we shared that look of “I know you know that I know you know” and we both didn’t want to have further complications so it was never brought up.
I’d be looking askance at whoever it was that said “good girl”, TBH. I can’t imagine saying that in a workplace to anyone who isn’t a literal child.

Ah, fair enough! I forgot therapy dogs and guide dogs are a thing for a moment, there.
