Though “Bosco,” isn’t the only dog to have served as mayor of a town (last year, a 9-year-old Great Pyrenees won his third consecutive term as mayor of Cormorant, Minnesota, and Brynneth Pawltro, a 3-year-old Pit Bull, has won the title of mayor for Rabbit Hash, Kentucky for a fourth time, beating a cat, the chicken, a donkey and a little boy just this past June).

“Bosco Ramos,” a black Labrador Retriever, may, however, be the only canine mayor to have his own monument.  The dog belonging a local family was nominated for mayor as a joke, but he went on to beat out two actual candidate and was honorary mayor from 1981-1995.
