A Dog that Rides the Bus Alone

Continuing with my above average quantity of dog-related posts, my friend Jenny recently sent me this article, about a dog in Seattle: Commuters in Belltown report seeing a Black Labrador riding the bus alone in recent weeks. The 2-year old has been spotted roaming the aisles, hopping onto seats next to strangers, and even doing her part to clean the bus — by licking her surroundings. “All the bus drivers know her.

After filming a bit the other day, I spent some time tonight experimenting with iPhone 6 slow motion video footage and the iOS video editor. I bring you the Slo-Mo Dog Shake: The music is Beck’s ‘Earthquake Weather (maybe)’.
