Frida, whose owner bid $5,000 for the privilege, will spend
her special day touring Bay Area landmarks and receiving a
commendation from the Board of Supervisors, according to a
spokeswoman with the city and county Department of Animal Care
and Control said.
Her honor will then be shown around city hall and presented with
a retirement package that includes a doggy bed, gift basket and
play products.
"We applaud Mayor Frida's ability to rise above her humble start
as a single mom in an animal shelter to Mayor for the Day," said
Miriam Saez, acting director of the Animal Care and Control
department.
Last November the city of San Francisco transformed itself into
the fictional Gotham City so that a little boy could celebrate
his win against cancer by becoming "Bat Kid" for the day.
