Quote:
Duke, a 9-year-old Great Pyrenees, was recently re-elected to his third term as mayor at the 6th Annual Cormorant Daze festival on Saturday, according to WDAZ-TV.

Duke was originally elected as the town’s mayor by accident in 2014, when he received the most write-in votes of the 12 submitted during the election.

That's an election where, no matter your voting preference, it'd be a lie to say you don't have a dog in the fight.

When I read the title I thought some fools elected Dog The Bounty Hunter as Mayor. I have no issues with the canine leading things there.

"So folks, did you hear about the Minnesota town that elected a dog as mayor? Yeah. A dog. People in the city of Bell said, "Big deal, we elected a jackass for ours!"

Another white male elected to office.
One day I hope I can tell my grand kids a black female dog can be elected into office. But our country still has a long ways to go.
