After holding the office of mayor in Talkeetna, Alaska, for 16 years, Stubbs the cat was recently mauled by a dog. that resulted in a punctured lung, a fractured sternum, and a 5-inch gash on his side.
Lauri Stec, manager of the general store, found Stubbs along with other kittens, and named him “Stubbs” because he had no tail. Soon afterward, residents weren’t happy with any of the human candidates in the upcoming mayoral election and voted for Stubbs as a write-in candidate.
