Sully, the former service dog of late United States President George H.W. Bush, honored the memory of his former owner in Washington, D.C., in line with Memorial Day celebrations.
The yellow Labrador retriever sat by the National World War II Memorial, which carried the name of the late U.S. President鈥檚 son, George W. Bush, for the photo posted on the dog鈥檚 Instagram account yesterday, May 27.
The service dog鈥檚 account shared a quote about Memorial Day from the late U.S. President: 鈥淓ach of the patriots whom we remember on this day was first a beloved son or daughter, a brother or sister, or a spouse, friend, and neighbor.鈥�
鈥淎lways thinking of my best friend & the bravest military in the world who made the ultimate sacrifice while defending our country for our freedoms,鈥� the dog鈥檚 account added.
