Among those at President George H. W. Bush’s funeral this week will be unexpected guest from Long Island.
SMITHTOWN, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A special member of the Bush family stole the show during the ceremonies honoring President George H. W. Bush on Monday.
The president’s beloved service dog, Sully, faithfully joined his companion on his final journey.
Sully was named after the pilot who successfully landed the plane in the Hudson River back in 2009. The yellow lab has performed some miracles of his own, and he began his life on Long Island, CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan reported.
The dog’s full name is Sully H. W. Bush.
He was photographed recently sitting faithfully by the casket of President Bush. The caption reads: Mission complete.
“You saw the picture that the president’s team posted and you just got chills,” said John Miller of America’s VetDogs.
