Of course, you won’t actually see Hayley’s name on the ballot, but she is adding some fun to local politics.

“She believes, and I think a few other people do too, that it’s time for more wagging and less barking in politics, so it’s a fun way to just have people feel some delight about an election,” Sallie Mitchell, Hayley’s owner, said.
