How could you not include Rabbit Hash! They really know what they are doing over there. The Dog Mayor was even a whole special on Animal Planet! I was going to mention Rabbit Hash too.

Not a word about the heads of government (note the plural) of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. This "historic river hamlet," as the community prefers to label itself, has been governed by able canine mayors for who-knows-how-long, after elections the have been always dog-eat-dog races. Perhaps the high point was last year's epic nail-biter of a battle, which for a while, looked like it would end with the unthinkable - a feline victory by Travis the cat!!! (In the end, after "an estimated 215% of local registered and unregistered voters swarmed the polls," Lucy Lou won the election, by more than doubling Travis' vote talley, kicking perennial also-ran miniature donkey Higgins back to fourth place and soundly whupping Alex (Human) who finished 15th with a mere 2 votes in the hotly contested field of 16. As near as we can figure, Lucy Lou has successfully completed her first 7-dog-year term and she may or may not be ready to run again ... or take a nap on the porch of the Rabbit Hash General Store ... or hunker down and chaw on a hog knuckle out back behind the Lowell Lee Scott Fine Art Center.
