Dogs just get it.

Cats look you in the eye and knock shit off your tables.

I like my dog more than I like 99% of people.
Love that.

He connected with 41.

I hope he will be OK in his new assignment. When I first heard that he would be going to Walter Reed, and wondered how it would affect the dog emotionally. I’m sure he will receive a lot of attention and tons of love. But I don’t think they just disconnect.

I don’t mean that to be negative at all. It’s a great photo and the dog is fantastic. I just wondered those things.
A worthy objective...

You're a funny guy!

I prefer dogs to most any human

that isn't my immediate family. God bless them. Not many things are better than when I get home from work and my two pups are running down the stairs, tails wagging, barking in excitement to greet me at the door. And Sadie, the eldest, always brings her ball with her so we can start playing immediately. Best creatures on earth.

We've had our current (yellow) lab since he was a puppy, but our first (black) lab came from one of the Lab Rescue organizations. According to my vet at the time, because labs are usually so good-natured, they adjust to new homes and new people better than most breeds.

Sully will be fine. And as a "working dog" he'll probably be happier having a new person to assist.

guess now wouldn't be the best time to reveal Sully had only recently become Bush's service dog...
Didn't you guys hear?

You're not allowed to spend your emotional energy on this dog because he was only with GHWB for 6 months.

It does change the story/feeling a bit don't you think? It's being portrayed as a long time pet. Not being a jerk. Just for me personally "ruined" it a bit.

Was a picture of the dog in front of the casket that much to handle that an 800 word article was necessary? What is even the point of that article?

Whoever wrote that must be a miserable person.
perhaps a silly question...

...I see Sully laying there.

Does he really know his master is in the casket...or is he just being told to sit there???

So perfect article for some of BBI.
My daughter is raising a puppy  
I Love Clams Casino : 12/4/2018 3:26 pm : link
for the Seeing Eye, a Black Lab.......she's had/been training the puppy since late October. That dog is already completely dedicated to her. 6 months is an eternity for a dog
Well, if we use the 1 = 7 equation  
Bill L : 12/4/2018 3:29 pm : link
then they were together for 3.5 years in the dog's life.

I'm trying to think if my daughter would have cared much if I popped of when she was 3.5 years old. I'm sure that Dan would have told her to move on, nothing to see here, but, somehow, that makes me sad.

Sorry I just don't feel the same way as I did thinking this grown dog was a puppy and grew up with GHWB. I'm allowed to feel any way I want.. that's how this works.

Right on.

Some people try too hard. It's a "look at me" society.

Who the hell is anybody to say how much this dog connected with his human??

I brought my dog to my office every day. A trained comfort dog

The dog had a connection with his owner  
B in ALB : 12/4/2018 9:20 pm : link
Anyone who has ever had a dog will understand the MUTUAL connection shared in that relationship.

6 months or 16 years - it still exists.

For anyone to write an entire article debunking a connection between the two - especially on the day of Bush's viewing - is just low class, insensitive, absolute horseshit clickbait look-at-me nonsense. Unfortunately, it's the common denominator these days.

And in perfect BBI style, you have people making false equivalencies in order to prove their pathetic points. "Yeah, but if the dog was with Bush for like 6 hours, then what?!?! Huh!?!" Awesome stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1 day, 2 days, 3 days. You're a clown.

You're still butt hurt about a Knicks post from the other day?

You my man are a bitch. I posted that a player not on the Knicks had a good game and for some reason it bugged you. Fucking loser. Sad really. I thought this story was more powerful when it was portrayed as his long time companion. I didn't write or even see the article posted. I'm allowed to feel that way. Your bizarre shots at me on the other hand... really, really strange. Sorry to hear you are going through some shit. I like having people obsessed with me. I didn't even know who you were until you fired shots at me. My own little fanboy.
