Sully, the celebrated yellow Lab retriever that was the service dog of former President George H.W. Bush, has joined the ranks of working dogs at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.Inducted by way of a paw shake and through an oath of office given Feb. 27, 2019, by Walter Reed’s director, Navy Capt. (Dr.) Mark Kobelja, Sully enlisted in the medical center’s facility dogs program, in which he will work with disabled inpatients and outpatients.
During his enlistment ceremony at the center’s USO building, Sully was cited as “a true patriot” and was enlisted as a Navy hospital corpsman, 2nd class.
Pinning on Sully’s devices were Evan Sisley, personal aide and senior medic to President Bush and Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Samantha Murdock, the leading petty officer for Walter Reed’s Facility Dog Program.

Dogs, man’s best friend. Shame more people aren’t like them (at least in terms of unconditional friendship). 🙂
Sully is the classic example of why Noah only let critters on his boat.
The more I learn about people, the more I love my dogs.
Evan Sisley was a Navy Corpsman. Can’t a military centric blog get that much right?
(getting down from soap box…)
You saying that he was NOT “personal aide and senior medic to President Bush?”
Nope.
When animals are a higher rank than you. 😭
