Imagine how much of a better place this world would be if animals were in charge.

The people of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky understand how animals make the perfect politicians and elected a pit bull as their newest mayor.

Brynneth Pawltro, a 3-year-old female rescue dog, who goes by the name โ€œBrynnโ€ for short had a landslide victory beating out Stella the cat and a donkey named Higgins with more than 3,300 votes.

According to Huffington Post, Brynnโ€™s owner, Jordie Bamforth, says that Brynn ran on a platform of โ€œpeace, love, and understanding.โ€

โ€œBrynn has declared to be peaceful with any human or animal that comes through Rabbit Hash, especially the cats,โ€ she said.

She has also promised not to pee on cars.

โ€œShe is going to be the most understanding and accepting of everyone who passes through Rabbit Hash,โ€ Bamforth told People. โ€œShe doesnโ€™t want to judge anybody for how they look, or their political stances, she will love them no matter [what].โ€

This is the fourth dog that Rabbit Hash has elected as mayor. Their first dog mayor was elected in the late 90s as a fundraiser.

โ€œWe charge you a dollar for your vote, you vote as often as you want,โ€ Bobbi Kayser, who works with the local Historical Societyโ€™s told WDRB.

This year the funds raised went toward improving the townโ€™s General Store that was destroyed in an electrical fire.

โ€œIt was so heartbreaking, but itโ€™s been really awesome to watch it rise from the ashes,โ€ said Bamforth

People reports that about $9,000 was raised in this election and that Brynn got to announce its grand opening on social media.

Rabbit Hash is actually so tiny that there is no need for an actual mayor. But however small the job, Rabbit Hash says that Brynn makes the perfect leader.

โ€œSheโ€™s very outgoing,โ€ said Kayser. โ€œThereโ€™s always inappropriate licking going on.โ€

Bamforth said itโ€™s that smile of hers that swayed voters.

โ€œShe โ€˜s normally got that big old pit bull smile,โ€ said Bamforth, who hopes her dog will help to paint pit bulls in a better light. โ€œShe is a super, super happy dog. There arenโ€™t many people that sheโ€™s met that she doesnโ€™t likeโ€ฆ [sheโ€™s] a good judge of character.โ€

Thankfully, Brynnโ€™s political duties donโ€™t take up so much time as to interfere with her being Bamforthโ€™s best friend.

โ€œTreats or no treats she wold do whatever I ask of her,โ€ Bamforth said. โ€œSheโ€™s a really good dog.โ€
