A dog that is a big star in Seattle is going to a nearby park by herself.
“All the bus drivers know her. She sits here just like a person does,” fellow rider Tiona Rainwater told KOMO. “She makes everybody happy. How could you not love this face?”
The black Labrador and Mastiff mix and her owner Jeff Young were together at a bus stop. He took too long to finish his cigarette.
So, when the bus came, the dog just hopped on and got off at the park. Since that day, the owner has known that he could always find her in the park again. It turns out this smart girl can ride the D line alone and always knows where to get off.
Dogs are allowed on public transportation in King County at the discretion of a driver, even though some police officers say that Eclipse should be on a leash.
So, because this dog doesn’t do any harm and only makes people smile, the drivers are always happy to give this dog a ride.
What about the doggie herself? She certainly seemed to be pleased with herself.
Besides, her Facebook profile says: “I love my big city life and enjoy taking the D line daily to the Belltown dog park.” What a smart doggie!
