Seattle: Eclipse needs no human to take her to the park. She catches the bus on her own and rides to the dog park every day. She stays at the park for a couple of hours and then heads back home. The adorable dog has her own bus pass attached to its collar.

Robbie Lauren took to Facebook to share Eclipse's story. "This is Eclipse. Every day she leaves her house, by herself, and takes the bus downtown to the dog park where she spends a couple of hours getting exercise and making friends, and then she takes the bus back home again. She even has her own bus pass attached to the collar," Lauren wrote.

Lauren said that the routine started when Eclipse's human, Jeff Young, was taking too long when the bus arrived. The impatient canine ran towards the bus and got on it by herself. The bus driver who recognised her dropped her at the dog park. Jeff later caught up with the pet. When Eclipse took more trips by herself, Jeff realised that the dog knew the way back home and started letting her go on her own. She always returns after a couple of hours.

"All of the bus drivers know her and she makes them smile, and many of the regular passengers enjoy seeing her every day and will often sit down next to her. Even the police have given their approval as long as the bus drivers are okay with the arrangement. She makes everybody happy," Lauren added.

The post has gone viral on Facebook, garnering over 2.9 lakh shares and more than 2.8 lakh likes. While many netizens thanked the bus drivers for helping Eclipse, others said that they would love to travel with her.

"Aw...I love this! Thanks to the bus driver/s too for his kindness and thoughtfulness, making it possible for Eclipse to make it to the dog park to enjoy what she is doing there," a user said.

Eclipse even has a Facebook page of her own, with over 77,000 fans.
