A goth who leads his girlfriend around with a dog lead and collar was stopped from getting on a bus amid fears for passenger safety, a bus firm confirmed. Dani Graves, 25, and his fiancee Tasha Maltby, 19, of Dewsbury, West Yorks, claim they have been discriminated against by bus firm Arriva Yorkshire.
The black-clad couple said they had been told to leave one bus and prevented from boarding another.
The bus firm said safety came first, but it was investigating the complaint.
Bus operator Arriva claimed other passengers could be put at risk if the bus braked sharply.
Operations director for Arriva Yorkshire, Paul Adcock, said: "Arriva takes any allegation of discrimination very seriously and have interviewed the driver regarding Mr Graves' claims.
"Our primary concern is passenger safety and while the couple are very welcome to travel on our buses, we are asking that Miss Maltby remove her dog lead before boarding the bus.
"It could be dangerous for the couple and other passengers if a driver had to brake sharply while Miss Maltby was wearing the lead."
The company said it was writing to Mr Graves "to apologise for any distress caused by the way this matter was handled".
I dont think so. I dont see a wedding ring through her nose. Of course she could be wearing it somewhere else (shudder)
Don’t you mean bow wow??
If you love someone, set them free...
Hey, they're both white.

She likes long walks...
He’s a dog as well!
As a New Year gift, the hubby can buy her a barking dog collar. Woof; baaaaap !
It’s actually a public service that these whack jobs dress and act like they do-it saves the rest of us the time and trouble of mistaking them for human beings. It’s like wearing a sign that says “Warning! Whacko in the area!”
What do people like this do for a living.....computer programmers maybe? Perhaps accountants....yes, I’m sure it is something like that.
yes, she will.
She graduated high school this week with a final 3.999 average for all of highschool and a ranking of ONE out of 222.
Instead of taking her free ticket into college she will first go to basic training for The Guard.
...oh, I never mention her here because her mother and I cohabitate and she got a tattoo on her birthday. That will instantly lable her as a slut and a loser.
Look, we got another one, just like the other ones
Another bad ass, another troublemaker

I wonder if he’s gonna show us what bad is?
Boys, we got a man with a dog collar on

Hey Spike what do you like?
Here’s another misfit, another Jimmy Dean
Bet he’s got a motorbike,

The future ain’t what it used to be
Hey Spike, you’re scarin’ my wife
Hey, Spike what do you like?

“Spike”, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
No, but she's registered at the local kennel club.
Well, she is only 19.
