After the failed mob that I had planned last Saturday, I decided to go to the Aloha festival. I took the F, 30, and the 43 there, although the F I rode was a bus. But what was more interesting was when I was on the 43.
Anyway, this guy with a skateboard and a dog gets on at Divisadero at around 2:10-ish. His dog figures out on how to take off his muzzle, and when his owner finds out the muzzle was out, he screamed at the dog and forced the muzzle back on the dog. He then proceeded to literally pick up the dog on his back, as if a person was getting a wedgie. After that, they both proceeded to the back, the dog went and took up two seats first – and this was the most shocking thing I have ever seen done on an animal – the owner literally shoves the dog into the window seat on the very back of the bus. The owner takes the aisle seat, with a skateboard.
Sad. If you’ve got Muni stories, whether they’re uplifting or depressing, send them to us …

Shoving a dog is not cool.
But some dogs (mine included) can be picked up by the scruff of the neck and not care at all. It kind of looks like someone giving a wedgie sometimes.

i’m sure there’s a name for it, but yeah, picking a dog up by its scruff is something their mothers do to them. it’s probably why they have that extra skin. not that what’s being described here isn’t messed-up.

smaller dogs – I would say up to 20lbs can easily be picked up by their scruff- the extra skin on their neck and back. It does not hurt them and they are quite relaxed if it is done correctly.
