Would lie alongside President Bush’s casket.
This story has been all over the news recently and rightly so; it’s a very touching report.
I have taken my story from the BBC News and wanted to share some of it with you.

George HW Bush’s service dog Sully pays touching last tribute
The labrador who worked as a service dog for President George HW Bush has been pictured resting beside his coffin, in a moving tribute.
Mr Bush, who served as the 41st US president between 1989 and 1993, died late on Friday at the age of 94.
Sully the dog is travelling with the casket on the flight from Texas to Washington and back this week.
Mr Bush’s body is due to lie in state this week ahead of a day of national mourning.
The coffin is being flown from Texas to DC on board Air Force One – temporarily renamed Special Air Mission 41, in homage to the late president – and then back on Wednesday, with Sully accompanying the body throughout.

Irrespective of what one accomplished in one’s life, 94 is a grand age!
Learning from Dogs 
Sully is a great canine. Despite one’s political leanings, George Bush & his wife Barbara were a class act.

That reminds me of this. The street dogs a Mexican woman fed daily turned up at her funeral/viewing. I recal the same thing happening in Chile a few years ago, too.

Apologies, just reading the article, and these weren’t even the dogs she fed, rather different ones. Standing in, I guess.

Most people do not understand the guiding love of a canine. It is God driven.

Dearest Anita, that’s very true. And whilst I don’t believe in the ‘G’ word, that wouldn’t stop me from acknowledging your own beliefs in this matter.

He was breaking my heart to see him there. There is nothing as devoted as a dog.

Nothing at all! There are many things that should be changed in these present times but not the dog’s loyalty and love.
