The casket of former President George H.W. Bush will reportedly be accompanied by his service dog when it’s flown to Washington, D.C.

CNN, citing a source familiar with the plans, reported that Sully, a yellow Labrador, will make the trip with the late president before going back into service to help other ex-veterans. 

Bush’s spokesperson, Jim McGrath, shared a photo of Sully appearing to sleep right by Bush’s casket. 

“Mission complete,” McGrath wrote on Twitter, using the hashtag #Remembering41. 

CNN noted that Sully is a highly trained service dog that worked with Bush starting in the summer of this year. He served Bush shortly after former First Lady Barbara Bush died in April.
