Thanks 
having a dog as weird looking as her is a great conversation starter when we're out walking!
Henry is looking as lovely as ever, I like the photo of him in the grass
... Blue sends him a smile

Having a dog that looks like it would chew off a babies head without a second thought is probably quite the conversation piece.

Henry will woof down the gopher holes to make them squeak......I know he really wants one, I know one day he will get one, not looking forward to that day
Blue is much kinder to starfish than scoobs though

I didn't mention ANYTHING to do with allergies at all so don't slate me for something I didn't say.
And as for the rest of your rant, I really think you have a screw loose, I don't have personal exclusive rights to a trail, I use a 20ft long leash for my dog - not a retractable one, I heal him so he is close and away from someone that may fear him or from someone elses dog that may attack him, and yes that has happened. It's called protecting my dog from other peoples stupid behaviours and respecting other peoples views. As for dogs on buses, I have seen people allow their dog to pee up the fixtures in petsmart and petland, I wouldn't want to sit on a dog pee'd on seat on a bus.
You come across as a very single minded person who feels that her views are the only ones that should be listened to, I just hope you don't move down my street with your dogs running riot all over the place

No, I wouldn't ever hurt a dog. But they will get a tap on the nose (very light) to make them take their muddy paws off my best coat, and the owner will get told that 'him being friendly does not exclude me being a doggy axe murderer'.
Thank you for respecting other people and your dog! (I wish every dog owner took that attitude.)

Erm a huge snake or a spider, well I would move seats or stand,but I would still think it was that persons right to carry those things on the bus. It must be commonplace in India.
Some people moan about absolutely everything. I don't always like giving into those people that want more and more rules.
Just tell me, who decides what is silly and incorrect. Can rules be absolute! The answer is absolutely not.

And for the record, I've been keeping them for 12 years. They are just like part of my family, they're so gentle! Everyone should just love them to pieces, I mean, there has to be something seriously wrong with someone not to love a beautiful ball pyton. He has such a cute smile! And don't tell me anyone's really afraid, they're just putting on like people who sneeze when they come near dogs and say they're allergic! its not serious!
More seriously now: As a snake keeper of 12 years, I keep my baby safe. His safety is my first priority. you may or may not like them and may or may not strike out at him. As it was my responsibility to keep him safe, it becomes my responsibility to keep him out of the way of dangerous people such as yourself who might strike out if you were jammed in a busy bus next to him.
The same goes for dogs. And I've been bitten by more dogs than I have snakes, and the dog wasn't even mine, while the snakes have been lifelong companions.
If you want your dog to travel with you whereve ryou go, I suggest you get a car. As people don't all feel the same and you are responsible for your pets' well being. And that includes not being careless where you take them and when.
