You’re partly responsible for keeping the peace. Always ask the driver first—a cheerful “Is it okay if my dog rides?” goes a long way. Drivers have the final say, so be nice. A happy driver is a dog-friendly driver.
Keep your dog calm and quiet. Barking at pigeons, vending machines, or other dogs is a big no-no. If your pooch gets nervous, consider a shorter trip or a fake “bus ride” at home to build confidence. (A cardboard box and a vacuum cleaner sound effects app: genius.)
And whatever you do, don’t let your dog sniff someone’s shopping bag. I once saw a Labrador steal a block of cheese from a pensioner—and that pensioner never forgave the breed. True story.
