What Happened To Roy Rogers Faithful Dog Bullet?

“Have you ever wondered where Roy Rogers’ beloved dog, Bullet, is today? Well, back on July 15, 2010, during an auction of the iconic movie cowboy’s possessions in New York City, Bullet found a new home. The stuffed and mounted remains of Bullet fetched an impressive $35,000 on the second day of the auction. This historic event also saw Nebraska cable TV network RFD-TV actively participating. They not only secured the famous horse Trigger for a substantial sum exceeding $266,000 on the previous day but also decided to acquire Bullet. RFD-TV’s executive mentioned that they purchased Bullet to keep company with Trigger, preserving these legendary symbols of Roy Rogers’ illustrious career.”

In a fascinating turn of events, Roy Rogers’ loyal canine companion, Bullet, found a new home when a collector named Gottsch purchased the stuffed dog for $35,000. This acquisition was part of a broader effort to preserve and showcase Rogers’ iconic memorabilia. According to a report in the Omaha World-Herald dated July 19, 2010, Gottsch had ambitious plans to eventually exhibit both Trigger and Bullet at the main offices of RFD-TV, located in Omaha, Nebraska. This move aimed to celebrate and honor the rich history of these beloved Western legends, providing fans and visitors with a unique opportunity to connect with the legacy of Roy Rogers and his cherished animal companions.
