A picture has been shared of the moment former President George HW Bush’s dog Sully lay in front of his coffin as he lay in state. Sully was given to Bush to open doors, pick up items and get help for him. Mr Bush received Sully in June from America’s VetDogs non-profit organisation to help him as a result of difficulties due to his Parkinson’s disease. On Sunday, Mr Bush’s spokesman posted a photo of the late president’s service dog lying in front of a flag-draped casket. Sully was pictured next to the coffin of the late President George HW Bush (Picture: Jack Forbes) Sully will return to America’s VetDogs in New York before joining the Water Reed National Military Medical Centre’s Facility Dog Programme (Picture: Jack Forbes) James Baker, Bush’s former chief of staff and secretary of state, called his boss’ tenure in office ‘a consequential presidency’ because of his foreign policy achievements. ‘Yes, he’s a one-term president but he is going to be and was a very consequential one-term president. And I would argue far and away the best one-term president we’ve ever had,’ Mr Baker told ABC’s This Week.

He also presided over the end of the Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union. At the G20 summit in Argentina, German chancellor Angela Merkel, who was raised in East Germany, told reporters she likely would never have become her country’s leader had Mr Bush not pressed for the nation’s reunification in 1990. Americans will begin saying goodbye to Mr Bush today when his body arrives in Washington for public viewing in the Capitol Rotunda (Picture: Instagram) A humble hero of the Second World War, Mr Bush was just 20 when he survived being shot down during a bombing run over Japan. He enlisted in the Navy on his 18th birthday. Shortly before leaving the service, he married his 19-year-old sweetheart, Barbara Pierce, in a union that lasted until her death earlier this year. ‘He knew what combat was all about,’ Mr Powell said on This Week.

And so he wanted to avoid a war.’ Mr Bush turned his attention to politics in the 1960s, being elected to his first of two terms in Congress in 1967. He would go on to serve as ambassador to the United Nations and China, head of the CIA and chairman of the Republican National Committee before being elected to two terms as Ronald Reagan’s vice president. Soon after he reached the zenith of his political popularity following the liberation of Kuwait, the US economy began to sour and voters began to believe that Mr Bush, never a great orator, was out of touch with ordinary people. He lost his bid for re-election to then-Arkansas governor Bill Clinton, who would later become a close friend. It was not only former political rivals Bush found easy to befriend. cMolina, whose family owns Molina’s Cantina, one of Bush’s favourite Tex-Mex restaurants in Houston, said he remembers Mr Bush’s kindness to his staff whenever he would stop by to eat. ‘No matter which party you’re affiliated with, everybody seemed to say the same things about President Bush,’ Mr Molina said. ‘He was a down-to-earth person, approachable, and just a good man.’ Got a story for Metro.co.uk?
