WATCH: This small town in Kentucky has a dog as their mayor

Are the people of the town barking mad?

It would be so cool to be a mayor, mainly because you'd get to wear those big, gold chains around your neck. Well, the mayor in this small town in Kentucky gets to wear a chain all right but that's because she needs one for her lead when she's going for a walk. Yes, Rabbit Hash in Kentucky has a dog as their mayor and her name is Brynneth Pawltro. The small country type town in America according to wdrb has "porches that are still hangouts for young guys to talk about girls and a general store which is a one-stop shop for anything you need." How did the dog get elected? She had some ruff (sorry) competition in the town's election and was up against a cat, a chicken, a donkey and a little boy. Surprisingly, the people of the town opted for an animal over a human and of all the animals to choose from, they felt the dog was the best candidate of the lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8R69WedI3s Clip via duckcammer Rabbit Hash is situated on the banks of the Ohio River and the people of the town are over the moon about their mayor claiming "she's very outgoing", "she has the best smile" and "there's always inappropriate licking going on." Brynneth is the fourth dog mayor that Rabbit Hash has had and the election process is also a fundraiser, where people are charged a dollar per vote and can vote as often as they want. The town is too small for an actual mayor and the money raised from the election goes towards improving infrastructure around the town and this year helped repair the general store after a fire. Bryneeth has a four-year term and if she still has the nose for serving the people of Rabbit Hash after her term, she can run for office again.
