Fox News
Republican Gov. Jim Justice of West Virginia and his beloved dog, Babydog Justice, is headed to Washington D.C. after the Fox News Decision Desk has projected that he wins the Senate seat.
Justice – along with his chunky companion, Babydog – first made headlines after the pair stole the shows during the Republican National Convenion (RNC) in July, with the governor entering the stage to chants of, "Babydog!"
