Bullseye (mascot)
Bullseye at the start of the Iditarod in 2009.
Bullseye is the mascot of Target Corporation. It is a Bull Terrier that is used for Target's advertising and marketing starting in 1999.[1][2] The dog has the Target logo on its left eye. The makeup used for the logo is natural and non-toxic.[3]
There have been many Bull Terriers that have had the role of Bullseye. Only one dog works as Bullseye at a time until another one can get the role.[2] Bullseye lives on a ranch next to Los Angeles. Its owner is dog trainer David McMillan.[2] In 2004, Target asked the artist Amy Brazil to make a painting of Bullseye. Brazil made an 8 ft by 8 ft portrait of Bullseye. The portrait is now in Target's headquarters in Minnesota.[4]
