On Tuesday, friends and family visited the U.S. Capitol Rotunda to pay their respects to George H.W. Bush, who died on Nov. 30. Among those in the crowd was Sully, the late president's service dog. While there, Sully, escorted by America's VetDogs service dog program manager Valerie Cramer, wore an American flag vest and sat in front of his late owner's casket for a moment of silence. Bush and Sully formed an unbreakable bond after the pup was welcomed into the former president's home in June of this year. Now that the golden Labrador's time with Bush has ended, he will continue his work in helping others. "Later this week, Sully will return back to America’s VetDogs in Smithtown, New York, for a temporary stay throughout the holiday season before joining the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center’s Facilities Dog Program,” a statement from America’s VetDogs to People read. The announcement also clarified that Sully will be working alongside two facility dogs — Sgt. Dillon and Sgt. Truman — who provide therapy to wounded soldiers, some recovering from amputations, and active duty personnel. "Through retrieval, bracing and innovative tug-of-war exercises, these dogs work with service members as they adapt and work with their new prosthetic limbs," the statement continued. While it still remains unclear as to who Sully's next handler will be, it's safe to say that they will love the golden Lab, just like Bush did.
