As a dog, running the house is just part of my job. Running a city, though, I am not so sure about that! Well, Genny would like to be elected mayor of the Canadian city of Clarington. Her person, Marven Whidden tried to register Genny as a candidate, but was told she could not run becuase she is a dog. They have not ruled out a write in campaign. According to the Toronto Star, "while kissing babies may not be her thing, she does a mean face lick."
You can read more about the saga on Whidden's blog, where the pair has received both criticism and support. They have created quite a stir!

I wish Genny could run but I'm running out of time.
