A bus pass on his collarSourced
The ship’s dog had a pass for Scottish buses
During the Second World War, Bamse lived with a Norwegian ship’s crew stationed in Scotland. The sailors bought him a bus pass and attached it to his collar. Accounts describe him going to a Dundee bar to collect crewmates, then returning by bus if he could not find them.
His collar carried something more unusual than a name tag.
