Profound dream! Can someone please help to interpret?

So in my dream I was driving early in the morning. Somehow I was giving my friend a lift to work. On the way we noticed an old lady was lying on the footpath in distress. She has a small dog and there was another younger lady attending to her.

We stopped and I went outside to see if I could assist. However, it turns out she wasn't injured herself but in actual fact it was her dog who was injured. They were saying that her dog had broken it's leg. To my amazement her dog looked exactly like my dog (who died a few years ago). Her dog looked like a younger version of mine.

I was so excited about it that I showed her an old photo I had on my phone. After that it was as if her dog became mine and he was all excited to see me and jumping up and sniffing and licking me. I didn't feel the same excitement because I was thinking, this is not my dog, just a very similar looking one.

Anyway somehow we continued on our journey and by this time it was getting late and we were worried that my friend would be late for work. As I was driving I then noticed my grandmother and auntie on the side of the road. They were there with my baby niece. So I had to stop and say hello. I was playing with my niece and I knew this was taking up precious time but I couldn't help myself.

Eventually we got back into the car and knew we were going to be late. My friend was pissed!... I got him to his job late. I remember it was 9:06AM that we arrived when he should have been there by 9:00.

Any thoughts?
