So, if she’s a dog, why should she be surprised if she’s not allowed on a bus? The driver is just treating her the way she wants to be treated, as a dog:

Given that she describes herself as a human pet – and is happy to walk around on a lead – Tasha Maltby is used to odd looks and even odder remarks.
But nothing had prepared her for the reaction of the bus driver who allegedly told the self-styled Goth and her boyfriend: “We don’t let freaks and dogs like you on.”

Miss Maltby and her fiance Dani Graves were so angered they have complained to the bus company of being “victimised”.
“It is definitely discrimination, almost like a hate crime,” 19-year-old Miss Maltby said yesterday.
The music technology student had this defence of her lifestyle.
“I am a pet, I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy life,” she said.
“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.”
The bus driver, however, has obviously not been listening.
He has repeatedly refused to allow Mr Graves, 25, and his “pet” on to his bus in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Her culture? What is that? A doggy culture? What about the driver’s culture?
