Sully, the service dog of former President George H. W. Bush, spent Sunday night lying before Bush’s flag-draped casket in Houston.
Jim McGrath, spokesman for the Bush family, tweeted out a photo on Sunday night, captioning it „mission complete.“
Jeb Bush retweeted the image, adding „Sully has the watch.“
CNN reported that Sully would travel with the casket to Washington, D. C., where several days of remembrance ceremonies are being held.
Sully, a 2-year-old yellow Labrador retriever, is named after the pilot Chesley „Sully“ Sullenberger III, who on Jan. 15,2009, landed a passenger plane in the Hudson River after hitting a flock of geese.
