For the fourth time, small Kentucky town elects a dog as mayor. – IOTW Report

For the fourth time, small Kentucky town elects a dog as mayor.

Breitbart: The mayor’s office of the small town of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, has gone to the dogs. Literally, as once again — and for the fourth time — the voters have elected a dog as their mayor.

This month, a three-year-old rescue pit bull named Brynneth Pawltro defeated a cat, a chicken, a donkey, and several other furry contestants to become mayor of the town situated on the Ohio River and just more than an hour southwest of Cincinnati, Ohio:

  1. I recently read something on Straight Dope, or somewhere similar – ‘what happens when a town elects a non-human?’ As if there were laws regarding such a thing at state or federal level. The answer is the town has to figure it out. Obviously. But I never cease to be amazed that people think there are rules that govern every single part of their lives.

  2. I can’t believe Rabbit Hash KY made onto IOTWR. I once spent a weekend in Rabbit Hash, circa early 2006. There was an old general store there on the banks of the Ohio where on Sundays bands from the area would perform, no cover. The “stage” was just to stage left of the pot belly stove. We went there because a Cincy band we liked (The Hiders) were playing.

    We rented a house because there’s no other lodging there. As we carried our bags in, a guy next door greeted us with “You just doubled the population of Rabbit Hash.” That’s a sum total of four humans.

    They had a dog mayor back then, a big dumb black lab. I have a postcard with a pic of him hanging downstairs.

    Rabbit Hash: You can’t eat it, you can’t smoke it, it’s a state of mind. I’ve always wanted to go back.

  3. The voters of the town of Pahrump NV a few years back decided they didn’t need the town government so they voted to abolish it and defer to Nye County government.

    This dog mayor is analogous to that. We just don’t need that much government. It’s disrespectful and… gives me a plan for my own county.
