CORMORANT, Minnesota (WLS) -- Duke, a 7-year-old dog, was elected mayor of Cormorant, Minnesota.

"He won by a landslide," Tricia Maloney said of the Great Pyrenees. "He's used to coming to the pub and getting some burgers and some fries or something."

The 12 people who live in Cormorant all paid $1 to vote.

"Poor Richard Sherbrook that owns the Cormorant store, he didn't even have

half as many votes as Duke did," Maloney said.

The farm dog is all bark, no bite. His term lasts one year.
