Otter Votes, Takes Rest of the Day Off

Otter Votes, Takes Rest of the Day Off

Sam, a local sea otter, decided to blow the rest of the work day off after doing his civic duty and voting on Tuesday morning.

“He called the office saying he had a sprained ankle,” says Kelly Philip, the greeter at Linens N’ Things where Sam works as a sales associate. “But he didn’t sound hurt to me.”
