Reminds me of a parody article I wrote in High School “Lucky The Dog Named King of Ireland”, look it up in the Sturgeon Comp archives!

Duke the Great Pyrenees is the only dog that’s ever been elected mayor in America, and he proudly serves the people of Cormorant, a tiny Western Minnesota town with nearly 1,000 residents. He was just reelected for his third year-long term. Duke is a hit with the residents and as it appears to be a wonderful mayor!

According to Duke’s owner David Rick, the pup was originally elected by accident via write-in votes. Only 12 votes were reportedly cast in that 2014 election.

 

You can enjoy this old news story on Duke when he first got started in politics.
