About three nights I was coming home on the 9:30 pm Central/YSW ferry, and there was a blond surfer type muscle guy, he seemed Australian, and his blond, wafty girl companion. They had not one, but two rather large dogs with them. They sat in the third row, center, with the dogs sitting on the two seats between them. These were not lap dogs but big, walk in the dirt/puddles/and who knows what else dogs.
They seemed to live on Lamma (taking dogs on the ferry at night is not a tourist thing) and quite smug and arrogant about their animals getting the human treatment.
What does one do in a situation like this? It grossed me out, thinking about whose bottom was going to touch those seats next, and the dog slobber all over the seat handles, and filthy dog paws all over everything. They could have sat two rows more in the front, where there is room for the dogs to lie down on the floor
. Also, the dogs were not muzzled at all.
The ferry staff, of course, turned a blind eye. The guy was big and looked like a surfer dude with huge muscles. I was too tired to deal with it, and just moved to the back of the ferry.
Any thoughts, comments? It was disgusting, both the dogs and the attitude.
