Gov. Mark Dayton showed off his new puppy "Mingo" today during a brief event at the State Capitol.
Dayton named the dog after the city of Wanamingo, and officials from Wanamingo were on to present the governor with dog tags and a resolution that applauds his decision.
Dayton said he plans to visit Wanamingo, with Mingo, sometime this summer.
