Maybe its a way for some to get around being socially anxious by talking to your pet instead but it comes across like antisocial behaviour.

My wife is a professional service dog trainer with Pacific Assistance Dogs Society, and one of the huge benefits her clients report is just how helpful their dogs are in social situations, where people with disabities often can—and do—struggle and feel at a disadvantage.

And, yeah. They are kind of amazing—especially my Belgian Malinois, who likes to do stuff like this:
