Sully the service dog to accompany Bush one last time

December 03, 2018 13:54

Sully H W Bush, a yellow Labrador service dog who worked with the late former US President George H W Bush, will be travelling with Bush's casket on his flight to Washington, DC, according to a source familiar with the plans.

Jim McGrath, Bush's spokesman, posted an image of Sully next to Bush's casket on Sunday along with the caption, "Mission complete."

A highly trained service dog, Sully will now go back into service to help other veterans and is going to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, former President George W Bush wrote in an Instagram post.

"As much as our family is going to miss this dog, we're comforted to know he'll bring the same joy to his new home, Walter Reed, that be brought to 41," Bush wrote.

Sully went to work with Bush this summer after former first lady Barbara Bush passed away earlier this year.
