Last night the top six London Mayoral candidates took part in a fierce race for first place.
The unusual thing was... they were greyhounds!
The famous Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium took part in a bit of "topical fun" by naming each runner after a candidate.
And the winner was.... Boris.
The blonde bombshell put Ken in 2nd place, while Brian didn't make the final lap of honour - it was Gerard (of UKIP) who came in 3rd.
The Tory candidate was beautifully played by Lyla Rose. And for those wondering which one is Lyla - she's the one in the blonde wig!
But has Ken's bid for re-election gone to the dogs (boom boom)?

And they're off:

vote boris ken just dreams up new ways to take the money his goverment has left you with, seeing this leftwing creep sacked would be better then seeing england win the world cup.

The only thing that has gone to the dogs is Labour!

Typical politicians claiming the credit. The rabbit, not Boris, was clearly in the lead at the finishing post.

Carol-Ann,
Very funny, but I'm not so sure that, if I was a greyhound, I'd want to be in front, as if you slow up a bit one of those long, following, noses could do you a mischief, although I suppose that's how they find out who their friends are!

Thanks to your dog-ged journalistic talents for giving us a smile.
But I think we have been sold a 'pup' there !!!!!
Well, it is going to be a Woof night on Thursday for everyone!

Cheryl,
The picture confirms Ken's obvious admiration for 'Boris's Bonnet', and who would bet against Ken appearing in a blonde wig tomorrow!
Who knows, wigs might become very fashionable again, and Gordon would be able to introduce a 'wig tax', which all wearers would have 'toupee'!
