People & Places of the Carolina Foothills

It's a Crowded Field - Electing Tryon's First Dog Mayor

9/25/2019

If you live in Polk County, North Carolina – this probably isn’t news to you. And while I “took” these two photos, I think you can see I “took them” right off the pages of today’s Tryon Daily Bulletin.
 
But we all like good animal stories and this one is worth repeating. All of these dogs (plus one cat) are running for Tryon’s first Dog Mayor. And this election is the only one where it’s legal to stuff the ballot box…with money!
 
The dog with the most money in his/her ballot box wins! Ummm, sounds like real politics.
 
Money raised goes to the Foothills Humane Society.
 
Dogs have been campaigning, holding rallies, sponsoring meet & greets, and this coming Friday will gather in downtown Tryon to finish up voting.
 
If at all possible, I’m going to try to get myself and my camera over there to get some real photos.
 
Rusty Bunshine, the lone feline running for position of dog mayor says, “My platform is for a better Tryon is Jobs and the Econony…who says a dog has to be the first dog mayor?” 
 
The winner gets to help lead parades and serve as one of the town celebrities. Polls close at 6:45 PM.
