Photo of George H.W. Bush's service dog mourning at his casket pulls the internet's heartstrings

[JOSweetHeart]

I wonder where that dog is going to be after our former leader is laid to rest. Earlier this year, I turned on the TV to watch Blue Bloods and ended up catching the end of what comes on before the show, Hawaii 5-0 I believe it was, and at the end of that show, a man was laid to rest and after being taken away from the cemetery, his dog was able to find his way back to the cemetery where ever the man's name was...all on its own.

God bless you and Sully always!!!

I hope he's not given to the Palins.

Very touching photo. Dog's are loyal, no doubt about it.

I agree.

Is the dog really mourning?
Does he know that Poppy is gone...for good?

someone told him to lay there while they took the picture....

A photo of George HW Bush's service dog lying downbeat besides the casket of his old master on Sunday has spread across social media, causing an outpouring of emotion.

Bush's son Jeb, Governor of Florida, retweeted the photo, with the simple words: "Sully has the watch."

Abigail Ogle, KOCO News anchor, tweeted: "Sully, the service dog of President George H.W. Bush, keeping watch over his best friend. Rest In Peace, 41. Good boy, Sully."

I suspect this is staged. It's a fucking dog. He doesn't know shit what happened.

They could have ironed the flag. Do you think the dog knows he's in there? Can he still smell him, even though he's all formaldehyded?

They don't use formaldehyde anymore. They use Febreze.

Clinton's still have dogs, so do all the other remaining presidents

It is Trump who is not a dogs best friend

The Clintons are dogs. Especially Hillary, who we can all agree is a bitch.

hillary might be a dog

but their kid for sure has a mule face

Just as an aside...the current occupant of the WH is the only occupant without a dog in a very very long time.

We still wonder what happened to the Clinton's dog once they didn't need the photo-op. Better to never have one than to abuse these loyal creatures.

You didn't know. Buddy is dead. Hit by a car.

The Clinton's never got another dog after Buddy died.

The Bush's Miss Beasley died some time ago. Barney died awhile ago so they have no more dogs

I miss the Barney Christmas films.

Why does Hillary hate Bill's dog?! Is that why they don't let her drive anymore?!

Sully is going back to the service dog agency and will be redeployed elsewhere.

obama is probably eyeing him as a good meal

Only to end up in the same picture eventually I am guessing. I won't be surprised if that dog were to wonder at some point, "What did I do to deserve such a life?"

God bless you and the dog always!!!

Holly

P.S. If a dog like the one on TV can have such a memory, so can another.

Sully's next deployment is working with wounded vets at Walter Reed.

I saw that earlier today! (I'm NOT prone to tears but this photo did it. I teared me up. I fully admit it).

Stupid opportunistic photo-op seeking dog.

The loyalty of dogs....is something amazing.....so close to GOD.

I love them with all my heart.
