Bullet the Wonder Dog
The faithful and famous German Shepherd starred on THE ROY ROGERS SHOW, a western adventure, aired on NBC 1951-1957 and on CBS 1961-1964. Bullet, billed as the "wonder dog," made his debut in the 1951 Roy Roger's film Spoiler's of the Plains produced by Republic Pictures. There were actually three Bullet's.
Bullet, who was often seen running beside Roy's horse Trigger, is on display in an air controlled glass room at the Roy Rogers Dale Evans Museum in Branson, Missouri. The last Bullet is next to the famous horses 'The Old Man' AKA 'Trigger' and 'Trigger Jr' and 'Buttermilk.' No animals were Stuffed! They are 'Mounted' the same way the displayed animals are in the Smithsonian Institute Museum.

Stringin' along:
Willie brings sidekick 'Trigger'
to Springfield, IL.
After more than 30 years of constant use, Willie Nelson's guitar looks about as well-worn as its owner, who has strummed a hole through its top and burnished the wood to an amber glow.
Nelson and the 1969 Martin six-string he has nicknamed "Trigger" make a pilgrimage to Sangamon Auditorium Wednesday, performing in concert at the University of Illinois at Springfield venue.
"Trigger" has become something of an autograph book for Nelson. The first signer was keyboardist Leon Russell, and he's since added such stars as Roger Miller, Gene Autry, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.
"It started out with Leon Russell wanting me to sign his guitar," Nelson said. "And I started to just write it on there, and he said, 'I want you to scratch it on there with a ballpoint pen or a knife or something.' And I said. 'Why?' And he said, 'Because it'll stay in there and make it more valuable.' So I said, 'OK, in that case, sign mine.' "
Over the years, Trigger has seen so much action that it now needs regular repair work to straddle the line between shabby chic and a total shambles. In Nashville, insiders says, there's a running joke that the guitar and its owner have become indistinguishable.
"When it was new," said George Gruhn, a vintage guitar dealer in Nashville, "Willie was clean-cut and wearing a sweater. They progressively get more scruffy-looking as time goes by."
While Nelson swears by Trigger's tone, Gruhn says the sound has degraded.
Even if Trigger's no longer a top instrument, it's joined Nelson on a remarkable journey.
It has seen him launch the outlaw country movement, record pop crossover hits such as "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" and serve as the focal point of the flamenco-influenced instrumentals that Nelson wrote for 1998's "Teatro."
Just about the only constants in Nelson's sound are the gentle tone of his quavering, nasal voice and the subtle pluck of Trigger.
The guitar earned its name for being such a faithful sidekick. "I was always a big Roy Rogers fan, and Trigger was his horse, so I started calling it that,
and it caught on," Nelson said.
