- For
- Dog owners who enjoy participatory satire
- Worth noticing
- A filed card receives a 72-hour public notice; the page says no objection or rival dog means the office is theirs.
Field notes
The nomination form collects a dog’s name, optional birthday, slogan, and photo, then offers a candidate card to download or share. Filing makes the card public for three days; the rules say the office goes to an unchallenged candidate if no rival dog appears. The page also labels the project independent fan-made satire and says the appointments are not New York City government positions.
