Babydog, Republican Sen. Jim Justice’s canine companion, had a packed birthday party in a Senate office building amid the government shutdown.
The West Virginia politician celebrated his beloved English bulldog turning six-years-old on Wednesday, drawing a long line of fans in the Hart Senate Office Building.
The line appeared to wrap around the interior of the building, with the entrance marked by a poster of Babydog Justice wearing a pink birthday crown.
A video showed the 60-pound dog arriving at her “barkday” bash in her own personal puppy stroller, being carted next to the line, drawing much applause.
Sen. Justice attended the party and sat next to his dog, who was on a wooden chair with her name carved into it and wearing a “6” birthday hat.
