This Dog In Seattle Rides The Bus To The Dog Park All By Herself

January 14, 2015

A two year-old black Lab mix, named Eclipse, is turning heads on Seattle's public transit system after she figured out how to ride the bus alone to her favorite place - the dog park.

"All the bus drivers know her. She sits here just like a person does," fellow rider Tiona Rainwater told KOMO-TV. "She makes everybody happy. How could you not love this thing?"

The dog's owner, Jeff Young, lives next to the stop. He said Eclipse sometimes hops on board without him if he's not yet finished smoking his cigarette when the bus arrives.

The pup has become a regular on the route, riding three or four stops before exiting at her destination of choice.

Seattle's King County says dogs are allowed to ride buses at the discretion of the driver, provided the animal isn't a hazard and doesn't create a disturbance.
