In the quaint hamlet of Picklewick (population: 723 and a very opinionated goat), Mayor Thaddeus P. Whifflebottom III was known for three things: his impeccably waxed mustache, his obsession with ceremonial rituals, and his uncanny ability to turn molehills into mountains. The town’s motto, “Order Above All, Except Maybe Pie,” was etched into every park bench, mailbox, and the goat’s collar.

The Day My Dog Ran for Mayor.
In the town of Muffinville, where the annual highlight was the Great Jam Jar Toss and the mayor’s podium doubled as a squirrel-watching perch, life was anything but ordinary.

For him, work was all about numbers, following the rules, and staying away from anything that could even be called "fun."
