During the second night of the Republican National Convention, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice’s beloved English bulldog, Babydog, stole the show. As Justice took the stage to deliver his speech, the audience erupted into chants of “Babydog, Babydog, Babydog,” prompting the governor to bring his four-year-old pup onto the stage.

Babydog, who has become a fixture at Justice’s public appearances, received a warm welcome from the enthusiastic crowd. The governor acknowledged the audience’s affection for his canine companion, describing Babydog as a source of joy who adores everyone.

While emphasizing his support for former President Donald Trump’s re-election bid, Justice praised Trump as a caring individual who deeply values the well-being of the American people. However, the highlight of Justice’s speech came when he humorously claimed that Babydog had insights into the upcoming November elections. According to the governor, Babydog predicted that the Republicans would maintain control of the House, secure a Senate majority, and see Trump and JD Vance triumph in the election.

Babydog’s popularity has soared in recent years, particularly after Justice featured her prominently in a campaign to promote Covid-19 vaccinations in West Virginia. The lovable bulldog became a regular fixture at the governor’s press briefings and even made a memorable appearance during a legislative address where Justice playfully responded to actress Bette Midler’s remarks about the state’s residents.

The audience’s enthusiastic response to Babydog’s appearance at the RNC underscores the dog’s status as a beloved symbol of unity and positivity in West Virginia. As Justice continues his political aspirations, Babydog’s endearing presence is likely to remain a key part of his public persona.
