A yellow Labrador Retriever has joined the household of former President George H.W. Bush.
The service dog is named Sully after Captain Chesley Sullenberger, the hero pilot who successfully pulled off an emergency landing with a plane full of passengers on the Hudson River in New York City.

Bush tweeted a photo of himself with Sully and Former President Bill Clinton on Monday.
A great joy to welcome home the newest member of our family, "Sully," a beautiful — and beautifully trained — lab from @AmericasVetDogs. Could not be more grateful, especially for their commitment to our veterans. pic.twitter.com/Fx4ZCZAJT8

Sully was trained by America’s VetDogs, a nonprofit that provides service dogs to veterans.
“Could not be more grateful, especially for their commitment to our veterans,” Bush said of the organization.
Sully can do almost anything, according to Bush’s spokesman, Jim McGrath.
“As one person said, he can do just about anything except make you a martini, but not to worry, he can go get you someone to make you a martini,” McGrath joked.
The service dog is already famous enough to have his own Instagram, which more than 15,000 followers as of Tuesday morning.
