Reportedly, Babydog, the beloved pooch of Senator-elect Jim Justice, is not permitted on the Senate floor.

Senator-elect Jim Justice of West Virginia and his beloved pooch, Babydog, have faced challenges on the Senate floor. According to Axios, dogs are not permitted on the Senate floor unless they are verifiable service animals, and even then, they must undergo additional screening for potential allergies.

During Tuesday's orientation for Senators-elect at the Capitol Rotunda, it was reported that Justice was informed of the decision to ban dogs from the Senate floor, where the legislative body votes. However, dogs are regularly allowed on Capitol premises, including elected officials' offices.

At the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, the celebrity hound made waves alongside her dad, then-Governor Jim Justice, in a dog-sized chair on stage.

Justice stated, "I am aware that many of you desire to meet my furry companion. Therefore, if Babydog could make an appearance here." Babydog has been a constant presence in West Virginia politics since she was gifted to Justice by his children during Christmas in 2019.

Since then, she has become a beloved figure among West Virginians across the state. Babydog travels with the Governor to nearly every stop and is the only one who rivals his popularity. She has truly become a mainstay in West Virginia politics. It is unclear if any resolutions may be passed to make an exception for Babydog Justice or other Senate pooches to make appearances on the floor. Representatives for Senator-elect Jim Justice did not immediately respond to Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment.
