A British woman had to fold and hold her 2-year-old daughter’s stroller on a bus. She was following because of the bus driver’s request to yield for another stroller. He readily accepted, but soon could not hide her absurdity. It was because her dog, not her child, was riding in the stroller she got out of the way.
According to the British Daily Mirror reported on the 7th (local time), Vicky Shirley (36), who was taking a walk in Ramsgate, England with her four children, had to fold her 2-year-old child’s stroller for her dog.
Vicky, who had gone on an outing with her four children, decided to board the bus for the children whose legs hurt. Vicky apologized to the bus passengers and got on the bus with a stroller carrying a 2-year-old child.
By the way, Vicky wasn’t the only one who decided to take the stroller and board the bus that day. Another passenger with a slightly smaller stroller boarded the bus.
The bus driver asked Vicky to fold the stroller and hold the baby for the passenger behind. Vicky readily accepted the request. Because his stroller was comparatively larger, he assumed that the stroller behind him would be carrying a more fragile child.
After a while, Vicky found out that her judgment was spectacularly wrong. In the stroller that rode behind was not a child, but a West Highland White Terrier. After getting off the bus, Vicky called her husband, Luke Thiel, 28, to inform him of this. Since then, the couple has been publicizing through social media.
“I think the driver should have given priority to my daughter,” Viki said on social media. The puppy was allowed to sit on her owner’s lap. She should have put the child’s safety first,” she revealed. The couple’s post received a lot of attention, with hundreds of comments.
As the story spread, ‘Stage Coach’, a British public transportation company that operates the bus Vicky boarded, said in an official statement, “It is very regrettable to hear that the baby stroller had to give up its seat for the dog. We are currently investigating the circumstances of the incident internally.”
