On a short leash

A couple have been accused of being freaks in a town near me, and bus drivers have been less than receptive of their patronage. In one of the ‘Only in UK’ stories, Dani Graves from Dewsbury have taken to walking his fiancee Tasha Maltby around in public on a leash. Gives a different spin to the term on a short leash innit?

Incesed that bus drivers have been either chasing them out of the buses or just not stopping for them, this lovely couple had taken to complain about the bus drivers’ attitute. One bus driver had insist that they were not allowed in his bus because the company have a “No dogs allowed” policy, with exceptions made on guide dogs only. Understandable no? Since Ms Maltby is only human she really should be allowed…

Quoting the 19 year old girl:

It is definitely discrimination, almost like a hate crime. I am a pet, I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy life. I don’t cook or clean and I don’t go anywhere without Dani. It might seem strange but it makes us both happy. It’s my culture and my choice. It isn’t hurting anyone.

But would YOU allow this anywhere near you?

I don’t see any problem with that – man, small town people and their small minds! Now if the couple had Nazi and White Power tattoos, and the guy was a skinhead, and they dressed like this, THEN I would have a problem. :P

I find it very funny…I think they should be allowed to hop on the bus, but why would she want to be leashed up beats me.

Its like S&M, I would never understand..

seriously, the driver is being discriminatory by calling the poor girl an animal! whose to say, the leash thing might become a trend…and it sure keeps the girl from going into any shops that the bloke doesnt want to enter..lol

mirebelle: I think she basically degraded herself by calling herself a PET and acting like one in her little game with her fiance…thus the bus driver picking up the fact that she’s a dog..
