"Mission complete"
The photo showing George H.W. Bush's Labrador retriever, Sully, laying in front of his flag-draped coffin, shows another of Bush's true loves. Bush's spokesman captioned the picture, "mission complete." So fitting, I know that President Bush and Sully must have had a beautiful relationship. So sad.

Sully will be traveling with Bush's casket on his flight to Washington, DC, according to a source familiar with the plans.
Sully is named after former airline pilot Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III, who became famous for landing a damaged passenger jet on the Hudson River and saving all 155 passengers and crew in 2009.
A highly trained service dog, Sully will now go back into service to help other veterans and is going to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, former President George W. Bush wrote in an Instagram post.
"As much as our family is going to miss this dog, we're comforted to know he'll bring the same joy to his new home, Walter Reed, that he brought to 41," Bush wrote.

Americans aren't alone in mourning the death of former President George H.W. Bush.Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today that all flags at federal buildings in Canada — and Canadian offices in the US — will be lowered to honor the former president.

Re: "Mission complete"
Final Goodbye....
The President will be laid to rest on the grounds of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University.President Bush will be buried in his family plot, located behind the Bush Library, alongside his wife, Barbara, who died seven months ago, and daughter, Robin, who passed away in 1953 at the age of three.
Although he didn’t attend the university, in 1991 Bush chose Texas A&M as the site of his presidential library, which opened to the public on Nov. 6, 1997.
