"Did that just happen?"
That's the reaction one bus rider had in Seattle, after realizing a dog had just joined him for a ride through the city, traveling several stops to her destination: a dog park.
The story comes to us from Seattle's KOMO 4 TV,
which reports that Eclipse, the black Labrador who is winning fans for riding a
city bus by herself, lives very close to a bus stop.
Eclipse is owned by Jeff
Young, who does not seem to be a control freak.
"It's not hard to get
on" the bus, he tells KOMO. "She gets on in front of her house and she
gets off at the dog park, three or four stops later."
It all started when Eclipse
refused to wait for Young to finish a cigarette before getting on the bus that
takes them to a dog park they regularly visit. Then she took the bus by herself
again. In the past few weeks, the two-year-old dog has been noticed by many
commuters, such as radio host Miles Montgomery of station KISW.
"She was most
concerned about seeing out the window, and I couldn't figure out what that
was," Montgomery tells KOMO. "It was really just about seeing where
her stop was."
This week, the story of the
well-mannered dog and her beguiled fellow bus riders is being embraced by Web
readers hungry for a bit of uplifting and interesting news (we confess: we're
in that group, too).
"All the bus drivers
know her. She sits here just like a person does," commuter Tiona Rainwater
tells KOMO. "She makes everybody happy. How could you not love this
thing?"

Just simply amazing! Eclipse, you are my idol!
Unfortunately there are no buses
that travel through our town.
Um, there are buses in my brother's town...
Dexter, hurry up and get big
so we can experience a
bus adventure together.
Woof, woof, till later,
Zoey
