| RIP Barney Bush Statement by President George W. Bush on the passing of Barney Bush: Laura and I are sad to announce that our Scottish Terrier, Barney, has passed away. The little fellow had been suffering from lymphoma and after twelve and a half years of life, his body could not fight off the illness. Barney and I enjoyed the outdoors. He loved to accompany me when I fished for bass at the ranch. He was a fierce armadillo hunter. At Camp David, his favorite activity was chasing golf balls on the chipping green. Barney guarded the South Lawn entrance of the White House as if he were a Secret Service agent. He wandered the halls of the West Wing looking for treats from his many friends. He starred in Barney Cam and gave the American people Christmas tours of the White House. Barney greeted Queens, Heads of State, and Prime Ministers. He was always polite and never jumped in their laps. Barney was by my side during our eight years in the White House. He never discussed politics and was always a faithful friend. Laura and I will miss our pal.

| So sad - I know they will miss him and he was quite a little character. President Bush did a pretty nice oil painting of him. Former first dog Barney dies, Bush honors with oil painting - Political Eye - CBS News (whatever happened to BO? did he wind up on the rotisserie?)

Also, thank you, even after you retired from the AF, you still continue to serve in a totally unselfish way to save lives.
