This is how "ruff" riders roll!
A "puppy bus" in Alaska has gone viral and built a steady following on both TikTok and Instagram thanks to the cuteness of its passengers. The popular social media accounts give followers a peek into the dog-walking business Mo Mountain Mutts, which picks up local pooches in a bus customized to transport canines on adventures.

"I look in the rearview mirror of the bus as I'm driving sometimes. And I see all the dogs back there. And I can't believe we do this for a living," Mo Thompson, who runs the business with her husband Lee, told local station KTOO.

Mo Mountain Mutts organizes three off-leash pack walks daily and collects its canine clients in a passenger bus with seatbelts for dogs. The business started documenting the bus rides not long ago and found that animal lovers couldn't get enough. One TikTok video of the dogs' adorable bus boarding process has been liked over 9 million times on the platform!

As part of the pickup routine, dogs enter the bus, receive a fun obedience drill, find their assigned seat, and get harnessed in. About 12 dogs join each bus trip, and the riders often greet each other after boarding, per the Washington Post. Mo Mountain Mutts seat the canines based on each dog's personality, age, and manners. The younger dogs stay in the "licky puppy corner," where they often spend their time — unsurprisingly — licking other pups.
