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.
