Black Labrador Eclipse loves her trips to the dog park. Her owner Jeff Young loves a cigarette.
So if he’s still busy smoking when the bus to the park arrives, Eclipse just takes herself there.
Jeff says Eclipse sometimes gets on the bus without him and he catches up with her at the dog park in Seattle three or four stops away. Bus riders say she watches from the window for her stop.
A Metro Transit spokesman said the agency was delighted that a dog appreciates public transit.
