Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Perhaps he was travelling on the Barkerloo line.

Or maybe he was on his way to Houndslow, or the Isle of Dogs or Bark Lane. You get the picture.

Regardless, a rather massive dog pictured on a tube train has become an internet hit after his image was posted on Reddit. 'He thinks he's people', posted one commenter on the website.

And sat comfortable in the priority seat (you can tell he's the sort of hound that'd offer a pregnant lady his seat) he looks like any other commuter making their way into work.

Other Redditors saw the dog's presence as less than soothing suggesting it was the beginning of an uprising: "This is the beginning of something big, i can feel it in my bones. rise of the dogs. first they take our public transport, then our jobs and wives" one imaginatively claimed.

Another Reddit user said: "As long as he sticks to the right on the escalator he should travel free."

Perhaps he was on his way to Barking...etc.
