This story was bought up a lil while ago and the bus company did appologise to the couple. the driver of that bus was more concerned about her leash causing problems if there were to have been an accident more than anything.
The story did hit our national papers and a lot of people actually sided with the couple in question.

One of our papers actually spent the day with the couple seeing how they lived.. asking friends and neighbours how they felt about the couples activities and they all stated that it was their business and not theirs and that they had got so used to seeing them they way they are that it was just a part of life seeing them about town.
