Dog’s life on canvass trail

IT’S a dog’s life canvassing – just ask Drexil, the Labrador.

The four-legged walking billboard is pounding the streets of a Co Cork town looking for votes for a primary school teacher.

But Drexil’s not alone. Olive Corcoran has also enlisted the help of pupils, former pupils and colleagues in a battle to gain a seat on Fermoy Town Council. She’s running for Fianna Fáil, but has refused to take any money from the party to cover her campaign expenses.
