A blind woman was told to ‘get her dog off a bus’ by a passenger who didn’t believe guide dogs could be any other colour than ‘yellow’. 

22-year-old Megan Taylor, was on the bus with her guide dog Rowley when the unnamed woman approached her and said that she should get off the bus when a woman thought guide dogs cannot be black.

But when Megan tried to ‘politely’ explain that the Black Labrador, Rowley was an assistance dog, she claims the woman called her a liar because and that guide dogs are yellow Labradors and her dog is black’.

Rowley helps Megan with many daily tasks including retrieving dropped items, emptying the washing machine and more importantly, Rowley can keep Megan calm and can even phone for help if she loses consciousness.
