I read an interesting story in the paper yesterday.

A very intelligent dog, a two year old Staffordshire bull terrier called Chops, escaped from his garden in Brighton and got on a bus! He was obviously bored at home and wanted to see the sights in town!

Apparently Chops crawled out of a hole in the garden fence and tagged along behind another dog and its human, following the pair onto the bus without anyone raising an eyebrow.He sat on the back seat for about ten minutes enjoying the views as the bus travelled towards the centre of Brighton.

The driver was only alerted to the stowaway when the other dog and its human got off! He realised that Chops was on his own!

Chops was taken to the local RSPCA centre, and as he had a microchip fitted staff were able find out who he was and contacted his human within an hour of his arrival. His human, who feared Chops had been stolen, was delighted to see him again!

I am glad he got home safely, but that sounds like a good adventure. I wonder if I can go for a bus ride on my own and see the sights of Perth?
