So the dog incident happened after that or before that? Cuz I remember reading the novel and Josh was kinda feeling guilty about hiding the fact that he was the one who had slept with chase on that night and "blamed" himself for misunderstanding.
It's been a long time so maybe mz mind is playing with me.
The dog thing that didn't happen, happened at his first rut. Grayson was present then and he panicked, that's why he brought his dog. But Chase passed out and nothing happened.
The problem is that Chase remembered a dog being there and nothing else.
And Grayson later used that to make him go to pheromone parties/ to release pheromones ( they used injections there, but Chase isn't aware of it), because Chase in general is afaid of losing controle/not remembering what happened during his ruts.
Chase not releasing pheromones is actually a very serious problem, it's sad that the author made him so dumb that he didn't go to the hospital on his own...-_-
The night with Josh was later. Chase was aware that he slept with someone. He actually searched for that person and didn't find them. He later told Josh that he was afraid that he had raped thát person, and was relieved that he didn't.

I love that they’re together like this but like, did I completely forget and need to do a reread, or was it ever explained why they didn’t work out the first time they were together when Pete was made?
