«Breaking News» George H.W. Bush's service dog Sully returns home for holiday break before starting new assignment

The service dog of late former president George H.W. Bush will rest at home in New York for the holidays, enjoying an extended break until next year.

Sully the Labrador retriever arrived back in his native Long Island Wednesday, where he was born and trained by America's VetDogs, and showed off a new badge with the Seal of the President of the United States during a special ceremony.

An Instagram account sharing Sully's best moments captioned an image of the new look on his coat: 'Proud to wear this patch in memory of my best friend.'

In February 2019 Sully will get back to work with US Military veterans near Washington DC at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

The Labrador retriever is to spend time in his native city where he trained by America's VetDogs before heading off again early next year

Bush's furry friend will be joined by a black Labrador named Marine Sgt. Dillon and a chocolate English Labrador named Army Sgt. Truman.

His trainer acknowledged all the hard work the pooch had carried out during the special homecoming this week.

'Sully had the right personality and temperament for the important job,' trainer, Valerie Cramer said at a news conference. 'He is loyal, calm, kind with children - exactly what the president's team asked for.

'In addition, he's a willing worker, he's smart, and he's adaptable to all environments.' 

He was sent to assist former president George H.W. Bush – who lived with Parkinson's disease - in June

He was sent to assist Bush – who lived with Parkinson's disease - in June.

But the former American leader expressed his wish for Sully to continue helping veterans when he was gone.

'From the first minute when the president said, "Welcome home", I knew it was an absolutely perfect match,' Cramer added. 

Bush passed away aged 94 on November 30 and Sully was pictured lying next to his flag-covered casket as he said goodbye at a memorial.

The two-and-a-half-year-old was named after the hero pilot Chesley B. 'Sully' Sullenberger III who safely landed a plane of 115 people on the Hudson River in 2009.

Just like the man who flew the aircraft, he made his friends at America's VetDogs – which has been around for 72 years - very proud as he wound down for an extended Christmas break this week.

'We all felt such a tremendous sense of pride in not only having worked with the president, but all the different veterans and veteran's groups that we work with right here on Long Island and across the country,' John Miller, CEO of The Guide Dog Foundation said at the event in Smithtown, New York.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
