Animal Actor, Show Dog. Bullet, billed as a 'wonder dog,' made his debut in the Roy Rogers' film 'Spoilers of the Plains' in 1951, produced by Republic Pictures. The dog then was a regular on the western adventure series 'The Roy Rogers Show' on NBC television. The big beautiful German Shepherd was the faithful companion of Roy and Dale Evans who often helped the duo maintain law and order in the western town of Mineral City although was mostly seen running alongside of Roy's horse Trigger. When the dog died, a mounting was made by stretching the hide over a plaster likeness, and it was exhibited at the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum in Victorville, California (later moved to Branson, Missouri). The museum closed in December 2009 and as of July 2010, Bullet was to be sold at auction.
