Alaska’s ‘Puppy Bus’ captivates the Internet: ‘I can’t believe we’re doing this’

Over 1 million people follow Mo Mountain Mutts on the famous social media platforms Instagram and TikTok, a local dog-walking business.

Alaska’s “puppy bus” has gone viral on social media such as TikTok and Instagram. Followers of the famous social media accounts get a glimpse inside dog-walking company Mo Mountain Mutts, which fascinates dogs in a bus customized for dogs.

Mo Thompson, who supervises the company with her spouse Lee, told the provincial station KTOO that she often looks in the bus’s rearview mirror. She states she can’t think she is doing this for a living.

The company organizes off-leash walks for its dogs daily and picks them up on a local bus with seatbelts for puppies. The company reported bus passages earlier this year and uncovered that dog lovers loved them. Over 9 million people enjoyed and liked the video of the dogs boarding the bus on social media.

The pickup routine includes letting your dog enter the bus, receiving a delightful observance training, finding their designated seat, and bringing harnessed in. The Washington Post reported that about 12 dogs are brought along on every bus trip and that riders often greet each other after boarding the bus. The dogs at Mo Mountain Mutts are seated based on their personalities, ages, and manners of each of them. It is common for young pups to remain in the “licky doggy corner,” where they enjoy a lot of time licking their siblings – which isn’t surprising, given their young age. There is a specific area of the bus where dogs can be more comfortable,” Mo, 31, told the publication.
