We've all heard the line "It's a dog's life". As she said, it is an easy life. Wonder if any staff member at the tech has thought of a sign such as "No Owners Allowed".

as a human pet – and is
happy to walk around on a lead
– Tasha Maltby is used to odd
looks and even odder remarks.
<P>
</P><P>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."
</P><P>
Miss Maltby and her fiance Dani
Graves were so angered they have
complained to the bus company of
being "victimised".</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=509713&in_page_id=1770"><P>
"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."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E4DD7783-5421-4843-BDA3-F6F11A58A0FB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
