Meet Babydog, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice’s conservative canine companion
The crowd at the Republican National Convention was treated to a paws-itively precious display Tuesday night when West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice brought out his sidekick Babydog – a hefty pooch regarded by those in the know as one of the country’s most powerful political allies.When the pampered 62-pound celebrity was settled into a comfy chair of her own, Justice turned to the riled-up crowd to impart some advice from his top aide.
Babydog also delighted her fans throughout the night by being wheeled around the convention floor in a yellow wagon complete with a water bowl for the in-demand pooch. Babydog – who will turn 5 in October – was gifted to Justice and his wife by their children on Christmas Eve 2019,“He’d just turned two, he was talking pretty good, but he had no earthly idea what the word ‘puppy’ meant,” Justice explained.
“It’s actually been joked about in political circles that the governor gets an extra ten points because of her,” he added. “They wanted to put a dog in and, well, had to pick some kind of dog, you know, so they picked an English bulldog,” Justice said of the mural.
