Kentucky: A six-month-old French Bulldog named Wilbur has been elected mayor of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky.
Rabbit Hash, an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Boone County, Kentucky, United States, has enjoyed a 22-year string of canine mayors. The first elected mayor in Rabbit Hash’s history was a mutt named Goofy Borneman-Calhoun.
 “Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, has never had an actual person or human as a mayor,” Amy Noland, Wilbur’s human, was quoted by NBC News.

JackRabbit, a beagle, was the runner-up, and Poppy, a golden retriever, came in third. Both will serve as Rabbit Hash Ambassadors.
The contest which isn’t state-sanctioned instead serves as a fundraiser for the Rabbit Hash Historical Society and each ‘vote’ costs $1, and residents can cast as many ballots as they want.
