In a post on Facebook， which has racked up more than 290，000 shares， Robbie Lauren said Jeff soon began to realize that Eclipse knew the route and soon trusted her enough to go 3.， knowing she would always return a couple of hours later. “All of the bus drivers know her and she makes them smile，” he wrote， “and many of the regular 4. 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.”

All of the drivers on the route know Eclipse and will 5. her up if they see her waiting for a lift， before ensuring the bus pulls over at the park if she forgets to press the stop button.
