Rabbit Hash, a small town in Kentucky, has a new mayor this year, a six-month-old French bulldog "Wilbur" (Wilbur).
According to NBC News, the mayor of the town has never been a human since the 1990s. Webb’s owner Amy Noland explained: "There was a person named Claire. The man in (Don Claire) felt that it should be good to choose an animal to be the mayor, not necessarily a dog, so that it would be particularly interesting when holding fundraising activities." The Cincinnati Enquirer pointed out that The town of Ruby Hash in the Ohio Riverside area has a population of less than 500 people. It is famous for its many historic shops built in 1831 and is included in the National Register of Historic Places.
Nolan said that in recent years, the town has gathered many dog lovers, including herself; she has also assisted in raising stray kittens and adult cats, and transporting stray dogs to the new owner's home. Including Weber, she adopted three French bulldogs by herself.
Nolan adopted Weibull four months ago. According to the registration data of the American Kennel Club, Weibull is a purebred dog, and it is not common for general adopters to adopt a purebred dog , But obviously Nolan doesn’t care: “He’s really cute!”
American Kennel Association pointed out that from 2017 to 2019, the French Bulldog has become the fourth most popular purebred dog in the country.
"Weber" is the sixth consecutive dog mayor elected by the town. The first dog mayor was Goofy; the previous mayor served from 2016 to 2020 and was appointed by the Pit Bulldog. Ryan (Brynn) served.
Nolan said: "Although our elections have nothing to do with politics, every town mayor election is held at the same time as the presidential election."
Nolan believes that the current media is full of negative energy, and the news of elections and the epidemic has made the country miserable. She decided to take Webb into the election. "I only hope that Webb can bring a bit of positive news to the news media."
Nolan also said that Webb has adapted well to the new job: "He has seen him everywhere. Many people, there are also many animal friends, everyone likes him and scratches his stomach and ears."
