Instead, the non-incorporated town boasts three generations of sweet-tempered dog politicians.
This tradition of four-legged mayorsbegan in 2012 with Max I, a 12-year-old golden.
While he enjoyed a brief period of success, sadly Max I passed away just nine months into office.
This tragedy prompted ARF to approve a mayoral transition plan, and Max II was brought into office.
Its a fun way to do politics because we dont do anything divisive, ever, shesays.
Max III seems to do a great job fostering community by always being a light for the town.
Many people visit Idyllwild just to snap a picture with him.
