Nobody ever brings kittens to the office
I have in fact been to an optometrists office that had office kittens.
And that makes me sad.

“The building or someone is on fire”
When I was working in property management, certain people would frequently call me in the middle of the night for what they considered emergencies. They’d wake me up because a stove burner wouldn’t heat, or a lightbulb was out, or they just remembered that a door creaks. This shit got old real fast, so I began training the night callers that “emergency means Fire, Flood, or Death”.
One man was unfazed by my Fire, Flood, or Death mantra, so every time I saw his number ring in, I just shouted into the phone FIRE FLOOD OR DEATH? FIRE FLOOD OR DEATH?!

Dissertation? This grad student has his own personal office? With a door? I wasn't even issued a chair. I had to get my own.
As for dogs: when I was in grad school, one of the professors had a dog that sat quietly next to his desk all day, at least as far as the professor knew. When he went to the bathroom, his dog would run into the hall and play with people, but the dog was listening for his footsteps and was always back in his office in time. This didn't last long because the department head didn't like dogs and complained :(
How do you get the impression that this is a grad student?
Your comment does remind me of the time I visited a CS grad student at a local university for some programming tutoring in the mid-90s. He had an office! It was about the size of a closet, but there was a door and everything.

Pups always get priority, doesn’t matter what I will drop whatever I am doing to pet them
One of the best things about my job is that our clinic's offices share a hallway with the hospital's charitable organization, and they have two golden lab "therapy dogs".
A lot of the clinicians keep dog treats in our offices and once or twice a day the doggos will politely paw at people's doors for treats and pets time. They are by far my favorite co-workers.
I used to work for a private air cargo company and at the time they were renting space from a private jet operator. The owners daughter worked out of the second floor office and brought her mixed breed dog with her everyday. The highlight of our day was when Olive would come down for a bathroom break or a walk and would stop by our office for pets and the "secret" treat. I don't miss the job, but I do miss the Olive.
But at least now I mostly work from home so I get to spend every night with my golden snoring like a lumberjack behind me. She's become so well known that during some meetings I'm asked to switch from the headset to speakers so they can say hello to her.
I worked at a hospital that has therapy dogs. There was a code you could call for the dogs. I can't remember it now. It was like "Dr. Rover is needed in room 12” or something like that.
The cutest thing is that the dog has a badge.
Once or twice a day!? Why the hell am I doing this job??
