Little dog finds her way back home by taking a bus

Two-year-old border collie Pepper has made her family extremely happy after she made her way back home all by herself after getting lost in the park.

According to reports, little Pepper got lost while chasing some geese in the park after her owner’s mom Julie Jones decided to take her out for an early morning walk around the lake.

Her owners Charlotte Jones, 25, and Saffron Caps, 23 searched frantically for her to no avail but were soon smiling again after Pepper travelled home by bus all by herself.

Daily Mail reports that Pepper walked nearly three miles to a busy town centre bus station and then hopped on the No.7 Arriva service much to the amazement of other passengers who couldn’t believe their eyes.

Pepper makes a successful trip home

She sat for 15 minutes inside the bus before getting up at her stop and jumping off when the doors opened. She then waited there until she was found.

According to the publication, the bus driver assumed her owner was behind her when she first climbed on, meanwhile one of the other passengers on the bus recognised Pepper and quickly alerted Charlotte that they would be getting off the bus soon.

“She knew when to get up when the bell rang. We have done that bus ride for so long, the doors opened and she jumped off,” said Charlotte who wasn’t surprised that her Pepper boarded the bus by herself.

She also added that she was proud of the collie who must have remembered all their trips on the bus and decided it was the best way to find her worried owners.
