That’s a shame Pixie, sometimes we need to stick up for ourselves, I never used to believe it or not, but I will confront someone who is accusing me of a wrong doing, that I never did as that driver was doing...when I got loud, he went quiet, maybe he had met his match.

When you see red. even if there are a 1,000 people in close proximity I don’t see them, because I was focused on him only.

Yes, I reacted instead of going up to him quietly and asking him what he was talking about.
Coming back from having a wee, seeing a guy in a uniform with a walkie talkie ,talking to someone the other end ,saying something like, she’s just turned up, I asked if everything was ok, he never said a word to me about leaving my dog.
Then I get this bus driver accusing me of abandoning my dog, I hadn’t a clue what the he.. he was on about.
No proper communication from him just a load of insults flying my way...no wonder I shouted out loud and reacted.

I’ve ditched the board idea, as Dex said, someone could have let him off the lead or stolen him, so I will never leave him tied up again.
I would have been devastated to come back and he wasn’t there.

I would hate to think that a dog had been abandoned and I could have done something to help it.
I agree. You took an awful risk Pauline, with all the dog theft going on, you are lucky he wasn't taken by a thief, or hurt by kids.
In a funny sort of way, I'd almost be grateful that someone had reported it because at least he would have been taken to a safe place, and not stolen and sold on to someone else the next day!
Someone cared, and thought they were doing the right thing by reporting it.

True.
But that bus driver imo had no right to tell me I abandoned my dog, he was watching me when I tied him up, then he started to accuse me again, after I told him I was desperate for a wee.
He then said did you do some shopping as well..who the heck is he to speak to me like that....
That’s when I became loud , after that he never said another word, after all he was there to work, in fact I’m going to put a complaint in about him to the bus company...
He poked his nose in....that guy with the walkie talkie would have had words with me I believe when I returned to jack if I had broken some law, he didn’t, he probably had the sense to realise I went for a wee.

I will complain about him, he had no right to slag me off, that would have been the job of the man with the walkie talkie, not a bus driver who was there to work..if he reported me that’s fine, then he should have handed it over to the other guy.
The one in authority....he should not have got personal with me!!
Anyway, I will calmly report him then let it go...
