Have been there as well! Usually, the trash can is down under the front of
the bus. Under the dash where the feet and the lunch also is! And, I also
have a lot of regular bus drivers who know us and Holly has to try and give
them a friendly sniff or wag!

Or I have to heal the dog on, her thing is the trash can or smelling the
drivers lunch.
I also keep a tight leash when getting off the buss for the same reason,
mean to say van.
She will listen, when I speak to her.
