Babydog Justice joined the family as a gift from Jim’s children, earning her name from Jim’s young grandson, who kept asking, “Where’d that Babydog go?”
Her fame took off during Jim’s time as Governor, when she became a fixture at press conferences and public events, offering a dose of levity and charm. Babydog has since appeared everywhere from the State of the State address to the Republican National Convention stage in Milwaukee, even making cameos on national TV.
Whether she’s stealing the spotlight at major events or just enjoying a treat, Babydog is living proof that in West Virginia, even the dogs have star power.
