Maltipoo Dressed Up In The Cutest 'Tuxedo' Runs Like Lightning To Hop On Dog Bus
Dog buses make life a bit more exciting for not only riders but also drivers. They operate the same way any other shuttle service works, only instead of carrying human passengers, they drive dogs around. The dogs are picked up from their homes, taken to a fun destination to play and socialize, and returned to their home later. One bus in particular is called The Storybook Bus, and it regularly makes its rounds in Georgia to give dogs fun-filled field trips. The bus' driver filmed a moment in September 2025 when a Maltipoo — one of the many beautiful types of doodle dogs — boarded the bus wearing a loose garment that looked like a tuxedo.

In the clip, the adorable pup, Crush, first looks out the front window with excitement. He then runs to the front door and peeps through another window as his human does some final preparations before letting him out. If dogs could talk, he probably would've said something along the lines of, "Oh my goodness! My friends are here! Hurry up and open the door, hooman!" Moments later, the door opens, and he runs toward the bus. He lets out a few happy yelps when he reaches the bottom of the steps before boarding.
Unsurprisingly, viewers couldn't get enough of the cuteness, with the video racking up more than 250,000 likes and 1,900 comments. "You can tell he lives a beautiful life," one person said. Many others shared screenshots of different moments from the video to serve as static reminders of Crush's joy.
The Storybook Bus is part of a larger nonprofit in Georgia
You won't find nearly as many dog buses as human buses, but they're growing in popularity. They typically share the same goal of enriching dogs' lives, but The Storybook Bus has several other goals involve more than just dogs. The bus is actually a component of The Storybook Sanctuary, a volunteer-based nonprofit sanctuary in Acworth, Georgia, that aims to help abandoned, neglected, and abused farm and domestic animals. The sanctuary has hosted more than 150 adorable farm animals, traditional pets, and pigeons on its 8 acres.
The dog bus helps fund the sanctuary. Dogs whose humans sign up for the service can enjoy "a joy ride around town," according to the nonprofit's website. Rides may also include standard walks, play time at a farm, a visit to a nursing home or school, and other activities, depending on the day. The sanctuary's website also notes that the dog bus has plans to help shelter dogs get adopted by taking them on rides and promoting them on social media.
Ultimately, Crush is just one of many lucky dogs that gets the opportunity to go on a "joy ride" with his friends. Your pup might have the same chance, depending on where you live. Just do a "dog bus near me" search in your browser to see if there are any dog-shuttle services with a route close to your home.
