Can herpes spread via moveable objects or pets?

I am not asking if PETS can "CONTRACT" herpes from humans. I already know thats not possible. What I am asking is if PETS, like an INANIMATE object, can CARRY/PASS herpes via their surfaces (fur, lips, nose, mouth, tongue) to a human?

IE: Dog gets kissed by someone with herpes mouth sores or healing sores. Dog was kissed on the fur or any of the other places mentioned above.

Is it possible that this dog is now "carrying" on TOP of its skin, fur, lips, nose, mouth or tongue the HERPES virus and if it is pet or kissed by another human, in the same areas of the dog that the HERPES infected person's sores came into contact with, the dog could pass the HUMAN HERPES to the receiving human?

Again, I am not asking if a dog can be infected with human herpes. I'm asking if a dog can act as an inanimate object (like a glass or utensil) and pass human Herpes over to another human just the same way a glass or utensil can from the mouth of an infected/outbreaking person.

If, "YES", then how long could herpes live outside on the dog's fur, skin, lips, nose etc...?

no, you don't have to worry about human herpes virus being transmitted like this.

Why not? People shed Herpes all year long even when they are not in outbreak, why can't a dog's fur transmit the herpes like drinking/eating behind someone can?

The virus doesn't literally lay around and infect folks. it's transmitted through direct contact with shedding virus and also some heat and friction.
