Senator-Elect Jim Justice Clarifies Babydog's Senate Floor Restrictions

Jim Justice's bulldog, Babydog, will not be allowed on the Senate floor but can roam other Capitol areas.

Jim Justice's team clarified that Babydog was never intended to be brought onto the Senate floor.
The Senate allows dogs in many areas, but only service animals are permitted on the floor itself.
The confusion arose from a joke during Senate orientation about what is allowed on the Senate floor.
Babydog, a popular figure in West Virginia, will accompany Justice in his Capitol office and public spaces.
Justice's clarification follows media reports and jokes among new senators about pets in the Senate.
