Leashes are for dogs that have to walk from point A to point B.
Buses are for dogs that prefer a set of wheels.
Eclipse, a Seattle dog, is one of the latter. Victoria Cavaliere of Reuters
reports that this black Labrador “has been riding city buses without her owner to a local dog park.”
Dogs are generally welcome commuters on the Seattle bus lines.
Most of them, however, are accompanied by humans.
Not Eclipse… She
waits alone at a bus stop near her home. When
the familiar bus arrives, she hops aboard and stares “intently out the window.”
A short while later, Eclipse apparently recognizes her stop.
With tail a wagging, she jumps down from her seat, runs off the bus, and heads straight for the park entrance.
This feat has been witnessed many times by fellow commuters. One
happens to be radio-show host Miles Montgomery. After he publicized the story on Seattle station KISW, listeners responded with disbelief and wonder.
