“Nice To Meet You…What Do You Mean My Dog Can’t Ride The Bus?” “Assault-Woman” Indicted After Hitting Bus Driver
Suwon Police reported that they have booked a Ms. Park (age 43) who is accused of causing a scene and hitting (assaulting) a bus driver.
According to the police, on the 20th at around 9pm in Woncheon-dong, Suwon, Park tried to board a bus when a Mr. Kim (45), the bus driver, would not allow her on with her dog. When he was about to report her to the police, Park started hitting Kim and took away his cell phone.
Ms. Park and Mr. Kim had met before, on the 18th, when she tried to board the bus with her pet dog. When he told her that her dog could not ride on the bus with her, she grumbled, “Why can’t dogs ride the bus?” Mr. Kim accused her of creating “emotional distress” and so Ms. Park was fined by the police.
After this incident, Ms. Park coincidentally bumped into Mr. Kim again [on this bus ride] and said, “How could you do that to me the other day?” and started hitting Kim.
In her police statement, Ms. Park explained herself by saying, “I thought Mr. Kim was going to report me again so I got upset and took his cell phone.”

고어람:
Are you sure the dog isn’t really the woman’s owner?
김정준:
She’s 43 years old but apparently her mental age is that of the dog’s.
강진:
Just like a bitch…
조영우:
A bus is clearly a public place…if you like having your dog with you so much take your car instead.
권효주:
What crime would apply when a person hits a bus driver? Isn’t that a serious crime? He was just concerned about the safety of his passengers…what the heck is that, wanting to take a dog on the bus? She should’ve just used a dog carrier. What a lack of consideration for others. Pets’ hair sheds and may make others uncomfortable. Anyways, I hope there is a good result from all of this.
최정락:
Buses, subways, taxis, etc. should not allow dogs to ride along…lots of people use these services and many people are uncomfortable [with dogs].
오지현:
The dog that rode with that person should be embarrassed…
육지훈:
While I have to admit that dogs are needed for those with visual disabilities, the rest, no matter how cute they might be, are only cute to their owners…they might harm someone else.
신오미:
I am not saying that people who raise dogs should only take their cars and not ride the bus. If you’re going to take your dog on the bus, at least take the effort to have a dog carrier for it. Don’t nitpick as if it is natural to ride the bus with a dog. I have a large dog, a Samoyed, in my villa, and I bear with the discomfort. I haven’t received inquiries from [other] neighborhoods. If dog owners put forth a little effort neither dogs nor their owners have to be uncomfortable…my dog is crazy cute for me but it is still just a dog [not a person] to other people.

2012 Dog Days: (The first 10-day period of dog days) July 18, (The middle period of dog days) July 28, (The final 10-day period of dog days) August 7. Boiled dog is the best ~ !
강지혜:
Dog lovers…if you want to take your dog with you put it in a cage. People who have cats always do this so why can’t you? I like dogs too but people need to be considerate of the people who don’t like dogs.
이가을:
The comfort of the other passengers riding the bus is more important than your dog, sorry.
김주현:
Why wouldn’t you use a cage for your dog if you use public transportation? -_-
오재민:
Fuck, what is this, the “bitches with dogs” generation?
임창기:
The men who smoke on the street and the women who carry their dogs with them all the time are the same…the police need to start cracking down on having dogs in public places…I really hate dogs but I see them here, there, and everywhere. So annoying.
최지수:
There are more people who don’t have dogs in this world than there are who do.
김성환:
You might like having your dog with you but you shouldn’t have it with you in a public place. It’s very inconsiderate to people who are allergic to dogs, etc.
진성태:
I don’t understand people who can’t just put their pets in a cage when using public transportation…the dogs can be animal companions for them, but [to me] they are just animals that shed. It must be torture for people who are allergic to animals.
전용준:
What’s Lee Hyori doing? She probably tweeted this woman a thank you.
김진수:
A dog holding a dog…
김승욱:
She may have a dog but has no common sense.
