Baxter (c. 2005 – March 29, 2016)[1] was the former first dog of Maine who greeted visitors of the Blaine House.

He moved to the Blaine House in 2011 when Paul LePage became Governor of Maine.

Baxter often welcomed daily visitors of the Blaine House, many of which were children.

Baxter was also the subject of a blog written by Paula Benoit from April 2011 to June 2012, Blaine House Director and Assistant, to interest viewers in the Blaine House's history and current events.

His death was announced by Brent Littlefield, Paul LePage's political adviser, a day later.
