Why not both? Anyway, I know this does happen irl. I was once leaving an office and the lady there had a really cute chihuahua, so I said "Goodbye" and added cheerfully: "Bye bye, sweet creature." It took me about a minute to realise I didn't check whether the lady saw I was talking to the dog. Hopefully she's used to her dog getting lots of attention - that's what I tell myself now to cope.
