Former President George H.W. Bush's service dog Sully has become a popular pup on social media after a photo taken of the yellow lab sitting by his master's casket was taken by Bush spokesman Jim McGrath.

Since finishing his assignment with the Bush family, Sully returned to America's VetDogs in New York.

The Department of Defense says Sully will go on to join the therapeutic dog team at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. after the holidays, where he will provide stress relief and comfort to service members going through physical and occupational therapy.

Sully assisted the president, who had a form of Parkinson's disease, in opening doors, picking up items and getting help. The 41st president died Nov. 30 at his home in Houston at the age of 94.

John Miller, the president and CEO of America's VetDogs, said the Bush family contacted Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after the late president's wife of 73 years, Barbara, died in April. America's VetDogs chose Sully to serve with the president in part for his calm temperament.

Sully was trained at Maryland Correctional Training Center in Hagerstown, Md. through the America’s VetDogs program.
