A photo of George HW Bush's service dog lying downbeat besides the casket of his old master on Sunday has spread across social media, causing an outpouring of emotion.

Bush's son Jeb, Governor of Florida, retweeted the photo, with the simple words: "Sully has the watch."

Abigail Ogle, KOCO News anchor, tweeted: "Sully, the service dog of President George H.W. Bush, keeping watch over his best friend. Rest In Peace, 41. Good boy, Sully."

Bush haters should relax a few days. The man is dead. He was a veteran with distinguished service. At least respect tbe office of President for a few days til he is buried.

Bush is the first president to die since Regan.

There have always been many stories of dogs remaining with caskets and by gravesites.

The press loves him suddenly and they are working this.

He's the kind of Republican the media loves: dead.

I love dogs. They are better than most people. They are loyal and don’t curse.

The more I know people, the better I like dogs.

I’m not a Bush hater. I love my country. The clintonbushes are loved by the America hating media.

The America hating media won’t let go of putting down our first patriotic president since Reagan- whom the bushes never had a kind word for- in all of this.

That’s why they are called Dogs: It is GOD spelled backwards (i.e., the mirror image of the word GOD).

That reminds me of the story about God naming the animals.

At the creation God gathered all the animals of the world around Him. He said, “I am going to give you each unique name.” As He issued the names, the animal so named ran off to live its life in its own habitat. At last, there was only one animal left unnamed. The little creature jumped and skipped around the Master, looking at Him with pleading eyes: “What about me, Master? Is there no name for me?” God smiled and leaned down and stroked the little creature’s ears. “I saved you for last, dear one, because you are closest to My heart. So I will name you after Myself, but backwards, as if you are my mirror. Henceforth, you will be called Dog.”

oooops, I just googled “George Corley” - never knew his middle name.

George Corley Wallace Jr. (August 25, 1919 – September 13, 1998) was an American politician and the 45th Governor of Alabama

STAGED photo op. Did the dog get there all by his lonesome? No, some human brought him there and commanded lay down. Probably hundreds of photos snapped to get this perfect angle of repose

There’s a reason Dog is spelled God in reverse.

In Hebrew kelev (dog) is the same as ki-lev, like (as, because, according to, on account of, et al) a heart.

Man's best friend, full of love for his master. It all makes sense.

There are truly miserable people who have nothing better to do then to come here and either trash a good man who has departed and his dog.
