George H.W. Bush’s service dog Sully recognized for his service.

Sully, former President George H.W. Bush’s service dog, has temporarily moved back to his birthplace before he heads to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center next year.<\/p>\n
The 2-year-old service dog, who captured Americans’ hearts after the 41st president died late last month, was welcomed back with open arms and a round of applause by America’s VetDogs on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“We’re very honored that we had the opportunity over the course of the last six or seven months to work with former President George H.W. Bush,” John Miller, president and CEO of the organization, said at a press event in Long Island, New York.<\/p>\n
Miller said that Bush and his family, along with their team, “were first class in every way and worked very hard with us to make sure that Sully … served the president the best he could.”<\/p>\n
Sully’s final trainer and service dog program manager, Valerie Cramer, said she was the one who received the call from Bush’s team in April inquiring about a service dog for the onetime president.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Bush died, “it was his wish that Sully serve other veterans,” she said. Bush’s wish will be granted sometime around February, when Sully will provide animal-assisted intervention at the military medical center in Bethesda, Maryland.<\/p>\n
Sully will visit with injured veterans and help to provide comfort during rehabilitation sessions, Cramer said. “He will be fulfilling President Bush’s request.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Several labs have been family members at la Casa de AW1Ed. They are friendly, loyal, playful, and don’t be fooled by that somewhat goofy personality; they are one of the smartest of the working breeds. What a great gesture of 41 and family. I can’t think of a better place for Sully to be.<\/p>\n
