Sometimes you just need to take a little trip, explore and let loose! That’s what one dog does, every – single – day!
Meet Eclipse.
She’s an adorable black Lab and Mastiff mix who travels to the park every day by herself. Because she’s an independent woman!
In mind blowing fashion, she jumps on the bus near her home in Seattle, Washington and rides downtown, getting off at the park where she spends the day hanging out with her fellow four-legged friends.
After a couple of hours, she returns to the bus stop, jumps back on – using a ticket attached to her collar – and returns home, ready for dinner!
The remarkable story started one day when the excitement of the park was too much, and Eclipse got tired of waiting for her owner, Jeff, to finish a cigarette as the bus was pulling up.
She jumped on without him and before he could react, the bus took off.
Fortunately, the bus driver recognized her and – not wanting to disappoint the determined traveler – dropped her off at the park, before Jeff eventually caught up.
After a few more solo trips, Jeff realized that Eclipse was more than capable of making the trip without him, so he decided to let her – adorably fixing a bus ticket to her collar every morning, knowing full-well that she’d be back a few hours later.
Regular passengers on the bus have even gotten to know Eclipse, and as one would expect, she makes everyone smile!
A Facebook post detailing Eclipse’s journey has gained quite a bit of attention and clearly for good reason.
I think there’s a lesson we can all learn here: Be more dog.
