Sad news for former President George W. Bush. The former First Dog, Miss Beazley, passed away after battling lymphoma.

President Bush said in a statement, "This weekend our beloved dog, Miss Beazley, was put to rest. She was a source of joy during our time in Washington and in Dallas. She was a close companion to her blood relative, Barney," wrote former President Bush, adding on a lighter note: "And even though he received all the attention, Beazley never held a grudge against him."

Barney passed away in 2013, also from lymphoma.

Here's a GREAT picture of the President and his dog:
