Meet Valkyrie, Coronado’s eighth canine mayor who will serve a two-year term and be featured in the Fourth of July parade.
A total of 15 dogs were nominated by Coronado residents from May 2 to May 24 before the voting period began—a time period that also served as a fundraiser for PAWS of Coronado.
The 2024 Canine Mayoral Race raised over $25,000 for animal welfare in Coronado.
Named after Tom Cruise’s character in the film “Valkyrie,” this pup has faced her own set of challenges, including the removal of an eye. She took the title of canine mayor with the most votes out of 15 dog ambassadors and will hold a ceremonial position in the parade.
