I think the professor should show a little respect. If it was a seeing eye dog, or something similar (there are dogs that are trained to sense if someone is about to have an epileptic seizure, dogs that are for protection or hearing dogs etc.), he would still pat it, even though they have a DEFINITE place in our society.
By the way, it annoys me when people to pet working dogs like that. It just confuses them, and makes it harder for them to do what is necessary.
