Mayor of Rabbit Hash Passes Away

Print Email
02 June 2008

Junior Cochran, Mayor of Rabbit HashMayor Junior passed away on May 17th, just 2 days shy of his 13th birthday. Thankfully, he did not have to be euthanized, (which was especially  easier on his "people"),  and mainly died of old age. Although Junior was diagnosed with lymphoma last fall, he was able to live well  in his remaining days.

According to the Mayor's owner, Jane Cochran, "Junior died peacefully in his yard after taking a long pee and smelling  the flowers."

Evidently Junior loved being mayor of Rabbit Hash. "He'd get so excited when we'd get out his red, white and blue bandana. He tried to serve his town well," Jane added.

Junior was born and raised in Rabbit Hash, KY. A working retriever, Junior traveled by car extensively around the country. His all-time favorite states (besides KY and OH) were Texas, Montana and North  Dakota. He also donated his time to help others and served as the "spokesdog" for the Northern KY  Women's Crisis Center Pet Protection Program.

Junior was buried next to his mother, Belle, and his father,  Herb in the woods on the Cochran property. We will all surely miss him here in Rabbit Hash.

Paul, I once had a bumper sticker which I purchased in the States which read The More People I Meet The More I Like My Dog. The way it's going these days... so true eh ?

Twain had it right...the more I know about dogs the less I like people. I have a photo kissing Junior during a fund raising weekend..I swear that dog knew he was raising money.
