Veteran's Day Tribute to Service Dogs
Read either of my contemporary romantic suspense series, Grayce Walters or Impossible Mission, and you’ll recognize how military heroes inspire me. I admire their service, dedication, courage, integrity, and strength. It’s not only the two-legged military heroes who embody these qualities, but also the four-legged heroes.
On Veteran’s Day, a bronze statue of Sully, George H. Bush’s beloved service dog, was unveiled at America’s VetDogs’ Smithtown, New York, campus. This is the second statue of Sully. The first is on display at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, Texas.
After former President Bush’s passing in 2018, Sully continued to serve American veterans. He is a facility dog at Walter Reed National Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, where he provides comfort and companionship to veterans and their families.
Sully was trained to become a service dog at America’s VetDogs, a non-profit that “breeds, trains, and places service dogs with veterans free of charge.”
Thanks to Sully, and all of our veterans, for their service, sacrifice, and inspiration.
