Pippa hasn’t been seen since. ‘’Often she’s inside, but that particular night she wasn’t. And usually we have an electric fence around our property - but it had just gone on the blink - so she usually wouldn’t have gone down the drive, or she’d have got a warning beep in her ear.
Pippa, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has been stolen from her home in New Plymouth. Pippa is pregnant, and has been listed on Trade Me for $200,000 to grab attention. “It’s not a long drive, they’d have been pretty game to stop there.’’
The Politicians We Need
Fair Haven, Vermont, chartered in 1779, is a town of less than 3,000 people noted for its late nineteenth-century architecture. But this is not what makes the town unique.
Fair Haven operates under a council–manager government with a town manager and a five-member board to supervise the local government. There is no mayor. Instead, an animal is chosen as mayor every year in a ceremonial mayoral election. In 2020, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Murfee was elected as mayor. Last month, in a race that contained nineteen candidates including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and birds the incumbent dog mayor was reelected to a second term.
