How do I make the script put the union in the character?

I am trying to create a pet equip system for my new game. For some reason, it doesn't put the union or "pet" inside the character. Everything else works fine but this is the only problem. There is also no error log so I don't know what's going on. Here is the broken part of the script:

if script.Parent.Parent.PetName.Text == "Name: Dog" then
		local char = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
		local petfolder = game.ReplicatedStorage.Pets:WaitForChild("1")
		local pet = petfolder.PetModel:Clone()
		local petcheck = char:FindFirstChild("PetModel")
		if petcheck then
			petcheck:Destroy()
		end
		pet.Parent = char
		local stat = petfolder.Stats.Value
		player.PetBoost.Value = stat
		player.PetEquipped.Value = 1
	end

Wait I realize the problem. I put myself in the map and the pet goes to it. I can easily fix this now.
