Town's Mayor, A Dog, Dies At Age 12

RABBIT HASH, Ky. -- The dog mayor of Rabbit Hash has passed away.

The Rabbit Hash General Store confirmed Thursday that Junior Cochran died two days before his 13th birthday, Cincinnati television station WLWT reported.

Junior Cochran was elected mayor with more than 3,000 votes in November 2004. A documentary aired on Animal Planet about the black Labrador in 2006.

Are there seriously no human candidates qualified for the position?

[Kuya]

This and a 19 year old. What's going on?

I guess they figured a dog couldn't screw things up any worse then a person these days.

[Jaybar]

Well if a Rabbit can be a Pope, why can't a Chicken be a Mayor?

[Egon]

I live in KY myself (yea go figure) and most of the small towns here don't need a mayor. They just have a post office so i guess somewhere written down a mayor is required. You may poke fun at having a dog for mayor, but in reality, elected a human, and paying him to do nothing its pretty dumb. Electing a dog however, doesn't require much payroll.

I'm not saying i'd vote for a dog for my mayor, (my town has around 90-100k residents) but for some of the less-than-a-square-mile towns, i'm all for it!

Perhaps the Chicken and the Donkey can gather a Cat and a Horse and they can start a Musicians band in Bremen.

I find it funny that this particular town has the word "Hash" in its name.
