Daily Bread for 2.22.25: Inside the Town Where a Dog is Mayor

by  • 

Good morning.

Saturday in Whitewater will be sunny with a high of 27. Sunrise is 6:41 and sunset is 5:36, for 10 hours, 55 minutes of daytime. The moon is a waning crescent with 31 percent of its visible disk illuminated.

On this day in 1946, the “Long Telegram,” proposing how the United States should deal with the Soviet Union, arrives from the US embassy in Moscow.

Inside the Town Where a Dog is Mayor:

This California town elected a dog as mayor. Meet Mayor Max, the golden retriever leading Idyllwild! Since 2012, a lineage of golden retrievers has held office, with Max III now running the town alongside his deputy dog mayors. But can a dog really be a great leader? We go behind the scenes with Max’s owners, Phyllis and Glenn, to see how this ‘paw-litical’ system works, and why animal mayors are becoming a trend across the U.S.
