Please correct this
Please correct this. I think I can write/start off with "Today was ..." since it is thought to be written in the evening.
Today was my friend's wedding day. I had received the notice of his wedding way in advance, so I rented a tuxedo. I was walking to a bus station on my tuxedo when a dog barked loudly at me. I thought it was barking since it had noticed how good I looked in my tuxedo and smile at it, instead of being bothered by it. A few minutes went by and I noticed another dog barking, this time louder than the other dog. I again thought this dog must be barking because seeing a well-dressed man around here was a rare opportunity, even for a dog and throw off a bigger smile than the first. Then a few seconds later, a dog almost bit me trying to get to me while barking wildly. That got me thinking, "What could be the reason for this?" That couldn't be a sign of admiration -- it was too aggresive. Then, it downed on me that I had a bag of leftover soup beef soup packaged securely in my bag that I had asked a person in the restaurant to give me. "That must be it," I thought. Then I unpackaged the soup and gave it at the dog with a feeling of disappointment.

Thanks. I think I was more concern about writing something to get it corrected and was not too concerned about the content. Carrying a bag of leftover soup on the way to a wedding doesn't seem like what a conscientious person will do.
Anyway, do you think the word "must" not be made to "must have been" here? Can the word "must" function in a past-time frame?

At the time you thought it, "'must" was what you were thinking.
I thought to myself, "It must be.." = I thought that it must be, with the "that" being optional.
You could write "Now that I look back on it, the dog must have been...." but since you are giving your thoughts at that time, use "must be."
