The mayoral race is on in New York City. Which candidate has your vote?


1. Hurricane Oscar

2. Sammy Stands for Soda
Limits on sugary drinks? Not on Sammy’s watch. The sweeter the better!

3. Fluent Frenchie
This French bulldog is fluent in all languages, so it’ll be easy for all of his constituents to understand him.

4. Sweetness for Steak
She may look sweet, but this dog loves her meat. She believes the Meatpacking District should live up to its name and wants to bring back the neighborhood to its slaughterhouse glory of the years gone by.

5. Puppy Versus Pickups
This pooch wants to keep cars out of Central Park. “I can’t tell you how many times I am minding my business along the loop, and I’ve almost gotten sideswiped,” says the Toto lookalike.
