About “Bullseye” – the Target Dog
· Bullseye is a bull terrier, who first began appearing in Target ads in 1999.
· To create the bullseye around the dog’s eye, Target uses a Humane Society approved vegetable-based cosmetic paint applied by a professional make-up artist. The paint is easily washable and does not harm the dog.
· Bullseye lives on a ranch in Southern California along with other animals. Her daily routine involves running with other playmates in the large exercise yards and working with trainers.
· Bullseye has become a recognizable icon, and is the first animal to be immortalized in wax at Madame Tussauds in New York. Guests can step into the celebrity scene, surrounded by paparazzi, when they stand on the red carpet next to the Bullseye wax figure. (October 2006)
· Bullseye has become a popular red carpet guest at Target-sponsored events, including award shows, film festivals, community events and most recently, at the opening of Target Field in Minneapolis. (Source: Target Corporation)
