Former President George H.W. Bush Gets a Service Dog Named ‘Sully’
Former President George H.W. Bush is welcoming a new member of the family: a yellow Labrador retriever who’ll be his first service dog.
George H.W. Bush’s service dog ‘Sully’ isn’t a Democrat or Republican — It’s doggone crazy to attack him
Dogs aren’t called “man’s best friend” for nothing. If you’ve ever owned a dog, you know the bond between this animal and we humans is very real. We mourn our dogs when they die. And yes, after sharing our homes and our lives, they mourn us when we die. We feel genuine love for each other.
Slate staff writer Ruth Graham is clueless in recognizing this.
His first job was training service dogs in prison.
It takes more than $50,000 to breed, raise, train, match and support a service dog trained through America’s VetDogs. After the puppies graduate from the prison training, they receive an additional three months of formal training, O’Brien said. The group then flies the veterans in and houses them for two weeks while they work with their new puppies. Veterans are never charged for the service; the organization relies largely on donations.
