Sully, the service dog for President Bush, has captured our hearts with a viral photo titled "Mission Complete." What will happen to him now?

President George Herbert Walker Bush, 41 President of the United States of America,  passed away on Nov. 30.  Many Americans are wondering what will happen with is service dog Sully.

Sully's full name is Sully HW Bush and is named after Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III, the commercial airline pilot famous for landing a damaged passenger jet carrying 155 people on the Hudson River in 2009. Sully was raised and trained through the VetDogs prison puppy program, in which inmates raise future service dogs until the dog is about 15 months old. He will return to America's VetDog's in Smithtown NY after his time with Bush.
