Nov. 5 (UPI) — A Kentucky town is celebrating the election of a mayor whose support transcends political divides: a French bulldog named Wilbur.
Wilbur unseated incumbent Mayor Brynneth Pawltro, a rescued pit bull elected in 2017.
The historical society, which owns the town, said 22,985 votes were cast, the highest turnout in the history of the canine mayor office. The election raised a total $13,156, which officials said will go toward preserving local historical buildings.
