Similar thing happened to me when I was a little older, maybe 7/8
It wasn't puppies, but he was asking for directions, then asked if we'd come with to show him. He seemed reasonable enough, not scary or anything, but strangerdanger had been drilled into me and even this particular technique 'can you come with me to show me the way'. So, recognising that this was a bit suspicious like, I said know, but my friend was all for it despite being a couple years older.

Not sure what happened, but the man drove off without either of us. I remember him saying something to us like 'oh you don't won't to come with me because your parents have warned you about stranger danger'. Maybe my friend was too old for him, or the fact I was suspicious and reluctant freaked him off, or maybe he was just an idiot who didn't realise you shouldn't ask little kids into the car with you...

I think I told my parents who wanted to know what the car looked like, what he looked like etc

But like you the strange thing is it wasn't scary much at all when it happened.
