A border collie took the bus home by herself after getting separated from her owners in the park.
Pepper got on the bus after getting seperated from her owners
The pooch, named Pepper, was with Charlotte Jones, 25, and Saffron Caps, 23, in Fairlands Valley Park in Stevenage when she chased after she disappeared chasing some geese.
After walking two miles alone, she reached a bus stop and boarded when it arrived, staying on for 15 minutes until she arrived at her stop.
Saffron told The Sun: “A lady on the bus recognised her and was able to get a picture of her. She phoned me and said, ‘Your dog is on the number seven bus.’ She told the driver the dog was going to stay on the bus until she met her owners. Pepper got up near our stop. The doors opened and she jumped off. It’s just amazing.”
They adopted Pepper two years ago, when she was five months old.
Charlotte said: “We were so proud of Pepper. It was like something out of Lassie — she not only got herself to the bus station but managed to walk around it looking for our normal stop, which is right at the back. When the bus came, she jumped on board and went to the buggy bay, where she laid.
“We were so grateful that we offered to treat the lady for looking after Pepper so well and reuniting us, but she wouldn’t take anything.”
