The President’s best friend

SkyNews reports how a photo of George HW Bush’s service dog lying in front of his master’s flag-draped casket proves that a man’s best friend is also a president’s best friend.

The Bush family spokesman, Jim McGrath, posted the picture of the yellow labrador retriever called Sully HW Bush on Twitter with the caption: “Mission complete. #Remembering41.

“He will reportedly be travelling with the former president’s casket on his flight to Washington DC on Monday.

The former president and Second World War veteran, who died on Friday aged 94, had a form of Parkinson’s disease, and Sully could open doors, pick up items, summon help for him and even answer the phone.

Sully is named after Chesley B “Sully” Sullenberger III, the pilot who landed a damaged passenger plane on the Hudson River in 2009, saving all 155 passengers and crew.
