Letter: Will the civic election go to the canines?

Editor:

One of many current highlights for me in retired life was accompanying Buddy after we attended the Seniors Picnic in Riverside Park. He was considered one of a number of canines invited to attend, together with a human companion.

A good-looking younger metropolis worker needed to have his image taken with Buddy. As could be seen within the accompanying photograph, they positive make an lovely pair.

The suggestion was made that Buddy ought to take into account making a run for mayor within the Oct. 15 civic election, however I simply don’t know the way that will look.

He has no monetary belongings to reveal and he could be considerably protecting of these he loves, however we will chalk that as much as genetics and intuition.

His platform may learn alongside these strains:  

• all metropolis workers would have entry by appointment for visitations as wanted for consolation and reassurance;

• playtime for mayor and council with Frisbee or sponge ball as a substitute of sitting for hours by way of boring, closed-door conferences;

• personalised lunch bins supplied for councillors. These lunch bins would have a sexy metropolis emblem, with a photograph of their favorite mayor;

• rewards given for good behaviour.

In the interim, Buddy has not made up his thoughts about making a four-year dedication of being the ambassador for our group.

There’s nonetheless a while.
