Wilbur, a 6-month-old French bulldog, was named the mayor of Rabbit Hash, in Boone County, Ky. The tiny town is home to fewer than 500 people, who, as far as pet politics go, are deeply divided.
The town has never had a human mayor, but each election cycle, people from around the world cast their votes to elect a canine one. It’s mostly just fun and a distraction from the tension of human politics, but each voter pays $1 per vote and proceeds go to the Rabbit Hash Historical Society. This year, they raised nearly $23,000.
After endless mysterious subterranean quakes and collapses, I finally trashed the entire site and am rebuilding it.
