Canine commuters in Skagway, Alaska, win fans all over

They may be the internet's most famous bus riders this week — and they're dogs.

A minute-long video posted to TikTok, showing a bunch of canine commuters all being very good dogs as they hop aboard their own special bus and claim their seats, has so far racked up about 50 million views and counting.

It's "really captured the hearts of a lot of people," said Mo Thompson, who made the video with her husband Lee in Skagway, Alaska. The two operate a dog-walking and pet-training business in the remote coastal community.

The dog bus is a real thing, and not just an internet skit. Every weekday, the Thompsons drive around Skagway picking up their furry charges to take them out on adventures.

The viral video, taken from inside the bus, shows a dog — Jake — bound up to the door and happily amble on board. He greets the photographer, stumpy tail wagging, before going to claim his seat and get buckled in. A half-dozen other dogs are chilling in the other seats.
