Duncan is a dog in the American state of Washington. He has done something most dogs have never done.
He has voted.
According to a report in The Seattle Times, Jane Balogh, his owner, wanted to show how easy it is for someone to vote in Washington state – even if that person is not an American citizen.

Duncan was able to vote in three elections before officials realized he was a dog.
