To play the devils advocate, I get why he didn’t pet him. I saw so many people complaining that strangers pet their dogs that I don’t pet any if I don’t know the owners either.

I completely understand why he didn’t. It’s not his dog, and unless he knows these people personally or has a prior relationship with the dog, it’s best just not to. Also, while I doubt this would have happened with this particular dog, dogs can be strange. Some of them might look like they want a pet and then as soon as you do, they can bite you. Not worth taking the chance as the delivery driver.
