The first time the dog took the bus alone was an accident when she boarded without her owner, who caught up with her on the next bus. He decided to let her ride to the park without him afterwards.^[2] Eclipse was required to pay her bus fare like any dog on Metro Transit not held in the lap,^[3] and had an ORCA card tied to her collar for payment.^[4]

The dog is the subject of a 2016 book,^[5][6] and a rap music video.^[7]

On October 15, 2022, Eclipse died at the age of 10.^[1] Two days before, she was diagnosed with cancer.
