Sully, the service dog who symbolised devotion lying by former US president George HW Bush’s flag-draped coffin, has a new mission.
The two-year-old yellow labrador retriever has joined Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre’s dog programme to help wounded veterans.
Sully received a new vest and is considered a Navy hospital corpsman second class.
The service dog was named after retired airline pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III, who became famous for landing a damaged passenger jet on the Hudson River in 2009.
