In November, Billy’s Bus founder Laura Mohan told the BBC that she thought her “dog bus” was the first of its kind anywhere in the UK.<\/p>\n
She took inspiration from an American business called Canine Convoy, and recruited driver Ray Welderend to drive around Leeds and Bradford collecting “pawsengers”.<\/p>\n
The bus is then taken on drive-bys to care homes, schools and nurseries to allow people to interact with the dogs.<\/p>\n
She had 340 dogs enrolled by the end of 2025 and was considering buying a second vehicle.<\/p>\n
The bus has a live video feed so owners can follow their pets’ adventures, which include trips to Outside the Box in Ilkley, a community cafe that support adults with learning disabilities.<\/p>\n
Styles’ chat with Forsyth lasted a couple of minutes and he even walked around the stage a bit pretending to pick up pups. <\/p>\n
After, she “collapsed to the ground” in excitement. <\/p>\n
Forsyth, who says she has been a fan since the One Direction days, added: “To be honest, I don’t know how I managed to keep my composure, especially when I’d say I’m not a people person and that’s why I work with dogs.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In November, Billy’s Bus founder Laura Mohan told the BBC that she thought her “dog bus” was the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":649743,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-649742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
