And they say all politicians are corrupt! Maximus Mighty Dog Mueller II is definitely the purest and goodest boy for the job! Idyllwild of California, here we come!
Maximus Mighty Dog Mueller II, but more commonly known as Mayor Max is the elected mayor of Idyllwild, California, for a fifth consecutive term.
His duties include cruising around in a personalized pickup truck, making public appearances, ribbon cuttings and performing commands for treats.
MailOnline explains Idyllwild is a non-incorporated town so it has no human mayor - so the Animal Rescue Friends (RAF) decided to sponsor an election instead. The town's first animal election was held in 2012, with 14 cats and 2 dogs in the running for mayor. Max I, who has since passed away, won by a landslide. The new mayor Max II has also been joined by Deputy Mayor Mikey, and Deputy Mayor Mitzi, who are all related.
