Town elects goat and dog as mayor

A town in Vermont, USA has elected both a goat and a dog to serve as its honorary mayor, an unusual step the town says it had to take in order to receive funds to renovate a 32-year-old playground.

It is not the first time the town of Fair Haven has elected an animal as mayor.

 First, a goat named Lincoln was elected mayor in 2018, and a dog named Murphee has since taken over the job.
