Australian cattle dog enters race for mayor’s office in St. John’s, N.L.
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — A celebrity candidate has entered the mayoral race in St. John’s, N.L. — one with fur and four legs.
Finn, a five-year-old Australian cattle dog, is featured in a tongue-in-cheek, campaign-style YouTube video that has been making the rounds on social media.
“A lot of people are saying he’s the best candidate,” Glenn Redmond, Finn’s owner, said during an interview Tuesday.
Redmond — a 48-year-old animal trainer and stunt performer — said Finn is an accomplished actor, having played roles in the hit movie “Maudie” and the television show “Republic of Doyle.”
