FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Buff the mayoral candidate was trying to sniff-out votes. But he won't be raising his right paw to take the oath of office.

Buff the dog was a write-in candidate in the race for mayor in Williams, Ariz.

Sitting Mayor Ken Edes, the only candidate on the actual ballot, easily won re-election.

Buff and the other write-in candidates did manage to get about one-quarter of the votes. Buff ran on a platform of friendliness and honesty.

That's no job for a dog. Loyalty, friendliness, devotion to duty. Nope. Those qualities do not fit the job description.

Its not illegal for an animal to serve in public office.

Buff ran on a platform of friendliness and honesty.

That's what he claimed. He actually had a secret agenda to cut funding to the animal control department.

Buff for President, Rufus (my Basset) for VP!

Failing that, we need "Snoopy in the White House, Mrs. Karl's [bread] in the Breadbox!" (Insider Wisconsin Joke)

Well if he is a 'horn dog' he could run for POTUS as a democrat.

In light of the results, a claim of voter fraud that "the dog ate my ballots" was dismissed...
