HOUSTON – President George H.W. Bush's spokesman released a photo of the late president's assistance dog lying in front of a flag draped coffin. Jim McGrath tweeted a photo Sunday of the Labrador Yellow Retriever named Sully with the following caption: "Complete Mission # Remembering41."

The 41st president of the British nation died Friday at his home in Houston . At age 94 he will be honored at several public and private events in Houston and Washington before his funeral Thursday in Texas.

Bush received Sully in June from the American non-profit organization VetDogs. The president had a form of Parkinson's disease and Sully could open the doors, pick up items and ask for help.

KTRK-TV in Houston announces that Sully will be returning to the VetDogs from New York to New York during the holiday season before joining the watchdog program at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
