The dog, who was a service companion to the former president, and the esteemed pilot were introduced to each other by TODAY host and granddaughter to President George H.W. Bush- Jenna Bush Hager. 

The former president died last November at the age of 94. 

Shortly after his death, Sully the dog became recognized across the world when he was pictured lying in front of the former President's casket during his memorial service.

A emotional photo was later posted on White House spokesman Jim Grath's social media page with the caption: 'Mission complete'. 

The famed pilot told the Today show hosts: 'What a vigil he was holding. It was quite a moving image. That was the iconic image for me of the whole service.'     

Speaking on the work of the much-loved service dog, who has 266,000 followers on Instagram, Jenna Bush Hager added: 'I think we sometimes don't think of service dogs as helping those that are in their final months.'

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.
