The nation will say goodbye to President George H.W. Bush this week, as his casket is set to arrive in Washington on Monday and lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda until Wednesday morning. His service dog, Sully, will be accompanying the former president, CNN reports.
This week’s trip will be the yellow Labrador’s last time at Bush’s side, as he will soon go back into the line of duty helping other veterans.
"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 he brought to 41," former President George W. Bush wrote on Instagram, sharing an image of Sully sleeping in front of the casket.

Truly. Animals are such a gift from God.
Who’s a good boy?
Truly. “As one person said, he can do just about anything except make you a martini, but not to worry, he can go get you someone to make you a martini”
Dogs are great, Bushes, not so much
Wow. It’s cool and sad.
Hopefully this thread won’t get cluttered with the crappy, mean posts that yesterdays thread elicited.
It’s a great picture
crappy, mean posts
You mis spelled truth
What al? That the dog is actually a prop instead of a bona fide service dog?
I have no love for Bush, but I do for a loyal dog.
My old mutt won’t get farther that 10 feet from me when I’m home.
My cats are always so excited when I come home. They follow me from room to room to make sure I'm not "escaping" again. They are faithful like dogs.
The left is smearing even that.
Thanks for posting that beautiful picture here.
Beautiful, faithful, loving dog.
I went from 3 dogs and 4 cats 10 years ago. (Only one cat was an) “insider”
Age and illness has me down to just one 14 yo pooch with a bad back, bad hearing and poor eyesight.
Scares me 2-3 times a day because he sleeps so hard I think I’ve lost him.
funny thing he’s picked up...follows me into the bathroom, but won’t look directly at me. Sits so he can look in the mirror of the shower door to see me, so he thinks I can’t see him staring
The left are scumbags so what would you expect?
Plenty of FReepers have been doing that too.
disappointed in that
You must be the one that feeds them,
