Former President George H.W. Bush announced on Monday that he has a new companion, of the four-legged variety.
Sully — named after Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger who safely landed his plane on the Hudson River in New York City in 2009 — has been trained to do everything from fetch items to answer the phone, CNN reports, and Bush spokesman Jim McGrath said he can "do just about anything except make you a martini, but not to worry, he can go get you someone to make you a martini."
