Happy Holidays from my friends at America’s VetDogs and Sully H.W. Bush! Sully is yellow lab raised by America’s VetDogs for disabled military veterans. He served the former 41st President George H.W. Bush before his passing. Sully now works at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center down in the Washington D.C. area helping wounded veterans.

Our holiday shoot together was themed “Christmas Morning". We chose the Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport, NY because of their spectacular Christmas decoration display, beautiful grounds, and for its proximity to America’s VetDog’s Smithtown, NY headquarters. The story of the above photo shoot goes like this:

“Sully came home from work after a long day. He changed out of his work clothes, got comfy, and made sure the house was ready for Santa Paws … Sully hung a few last minute decorations with his loved ones and plated a pair of freshly made tennis balls. He then patiently for bed time hoping he made the good boy list, while others were being a bit naughty. Sully sighed “It’s hard to fall asleep on Christmas Eve!”. … Sully woke up and looked outside. “A white Christmas”, he exclaimed. However, no one was awake yet. So he waited … and waited some more. … “Finally, everyone was awake and it was time to go downstairs” … Santa Paws brought tennis balls, squeaky toys, and treats for all! And mom, she brought a camera for embarrassing photos.
