A lost pit bull is Marcus Eriksonsafe and sound, thanks to the quick action of a passing bus driver.

While on her route, Stephany, a Milwaukee County Transit System driver, spotted the stray dog dodging oncoming traffic in the rain. Fearing for the animal's safety, she opened the bus doors, and the pup immediately hopped on board.

After greeting passengers, the friendly dog nestled down with Stephany in the driver's seat while she called her supervisor. Once he arrived, he took the puppy to the local police department, where officers began trying to find its owner.

Watch the video above to see the pup's journey from busy street to VIP seat!
