Eclipse, a black Labrador and Mastiff mix is Seattle’s famous bus-riding dog. She regularly takes the bus by herself and knows exactly where her stop is, and that made her quite popular among other commuters. Her bus-riding adventure began one day at the bus stop, when her owner, Jeff Young, took long to finish his cigarette. Upon the arrival of the bus, Eclipse hopped in without him, and just got off to the park where they were headed together. Eclipse enjoys the bus-riding so much she took her solitary trips to the park almost every day since then, meeting her owner later on directly at the park.
