Rebecca Blackwell/AP At a ceremony on Tuesday afternoon, governor John Carney of Delaware -- joined by his wife, First Lady Tracey Quillen Carney -- is expected to name the state's official dog. But, unlike many other states -- Pennsylvania's state dog is a Great Dane and Ohio's is the Labrador Retriever -- Delaware has chosen to name "rescue dogs" as the state's official dog. Selecting animals who specialize in a certain field as a state dog isn't unheard of -- New York's state dog is 'working dogs' and 's is 'seeing eye dogs.
