George HW Bush's service dog Sully walks the red carpet at CNN gala, becomes its most popular guest
Sully was on hand at the American Museum of Natural History in New York to pay a tribute to Bush Senior and all the celebrities at the event wanted to get a picture with him.
CNN's Heroes Gala had a string of stars out in full force to celebrate the event, but there was one popular figure among them who stole the spotlight — late President George HW Bush's service dog Sully.
Reports state that Sully was on hand at the American Museum of Natural History in New York to pay a tribute to Bush Senior and all the celebrities at the event wanted to get a picture with him. Sully made news after a picture of him was released last week. The image showed the specially trained golden labrador mournfully lying down beside Bush senior's flag-draped coffin. The late president's spokesperson Jim McGrath shared the picture of the dog, who had been beside the 41st President for months, with the caption: "Mission complete."
