The 41st President of the United States of America, George Bush Senior, died last Friday, 30th of November 2018, aged 94. His dog Sully payed his touching last respects.

Sully, the late President's labrador

A photo was shared on Twitter by the late George and Barbara Bush's spokesman that shows Sully (the couple's labrador) watching over his owner's coffin. Sully used to be by the late President's side at all times and helped him walk while George suffered with Parkinson's disease.

As a service dog, Sully will now join the America's Vetdogs, a foundation that allows war veterans with disabilities to receive help from four-legged companions. He will then be able to find a new owner who will give him all of the love that he needs and deserves.


Transferring the casket

George Bush Senior's casket was transferred Monday, 3rd of December 2018 to Washington by Air Force One, temporarily renamed Special Air Mission 41, in homage to the late President - and then back to Texas on Wednesday, with Sully accompanying the body throughout. Wednesday, 5th of December has been chosen as a national day of mourning.

The 41st President of the United States will be buried according to the state funeral protocol, organised by the Pentagon.
