The dog who became a national symbol for grief.
Though the world mourned the passing of former President George H. W. Bush on November 30th, perhaps no one was more upset than his service dog, Sully. Back in June, the nonprofit group America's VetDogs gave the labrador to Bush Sr. to help him handle his vascular parkinsonism, and he had been keeping the ex-president company up in Maine ever since.
On December 3, 2018 Sully—or whoever runs his social media—took to Instagram to post a photo in front of Bush's casket. In it, the service dog can be seen sleeping dutifully next to his owner, with a caption that reads, "Mission complete." Naturally, people are beyond moved by the dog's devotion—and though he will soon be reassigned to help more veterans, Sully's and H. W.'s bond will never be forgotten.
The fluffy puppy who escaped
police custody.
When a four-month-old chow-chow puppy named Bungle was taken into police custody back in November 2018 for biting an officer, the internet came to the fluffy dog's defense almost instantly. Unsurprisingly, the animal was let go after just five days in police custody, and Bungle remains the fluffiest and cutest criminal of 2018 (if not of all time). Image via Twitter/@TejinderITV
