But the people of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, have spoken -- the next mayor will be a 6-month-old French bulldog named Wilbur Beast. The mayoral election is a fundraiser for Rabbit Hash, a 3.5-acre town maintained by the Rabbit Hash Historical Society. "I live just a few miles outside of Rabbit Hash," Noland told CNN. In order to run in the Rabbit Hash mayoral race, a candidate's owner must be within an hour walking distance of the town, Noland said. But Noland thinks Mayor Wilbur's appeal is that his is a "feel good" story in the current news cycle.
