BUSH’S SERVICE DOG ‘SULLY’ TO BE HONORED

  

A statue has been commissioned for the George Bush Presidential Library, depicting the late president’s service dog.

America’s VetDogs, a program that trains and places service dogs with disabled military veterans, has commissioned sculptor Susan Bahary to create the bronze statue of Sully for placement in the east wing of the Bush library at Texas A&M.

Program President John Miller says the statue will depict Sully with his leash in his mouth, the “retrieve” task VetDogs trains its dogs to perform.

The work will also show Sully wearing his America’s VetDogs vest.

The former president and his yellow Labrador retriever were inseparable for the last six months of Bush’s life before his death last November at age 94.
