Patrick for Doggie Mayor

My name is Patrick, and I am running for Doggie Mayor of the wonderful city of Hoboken. I never saw politics in my future, but now that Ryn is running for Mayor and making plans to improve our city, I thought if people can elect a people mayor, why can’t dogs elect a Doggie Mayor?

So I am following in her paw prints, I mean footsteps, and I am running for Doggie Mayor of Hoboken.

The Mile Square City has more dogs than children. That means that we dogs are a very important part of Hoboken! As Doggie Mayor, I would make sure that the barks of all dogs in Hoboken are heard.

Among my priorities are:

More open space for us  
Currently only one park allows us to play on the grass. I love playing with Ryn and all my other doggie pals. If there was more open space, there would be more room for us to have fun.

Grass in the dog runs
I like hanging out with my friends…but not at our dog runs.  They have pebbles on the ground that caught in my paws and hurt, and they all really smell!  And, let me tell you, the closer to the ground you are, the worse the smell is.   As Doggie Mayor, I will replace those nasty pebbles with real grass which is easier on our paws and more pleasing to our noses.

Scoop the Poop
Nobody likes somebody else’s poop, not even dogs.  If I could clean it I would, but I don’t have thumbs.  As Doggie Mayor, I would make sure that our two-legged friends follow the pooper scooper law.   As soon as we poop, it needs to scooped, so that we can all enjoy the beauty of Hoboken.

Don’t forget to throw me a bone and a bark, and vote for me, Patrick, for Doggie Mayor!
