No doubt, but none of them were funny!

(We’re watching Roy lately thanks to some Christian channel. I can also watch Lone Ranger.)

“Today they’re making pictures that I wouldn’t want Trigger to see.”

—Roy Rogers, born Leonard Franklin Slye

Trigger and Bob Hope in _Sons of Paleface_


“Trigger is still the most popular attraction at the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum in Branson, Missouri. Roy also arranged for his German shepherd Bullet and Dale’s horse Buttermilk to be preserved and exhibited at the museum. Roy used to joke that after he died, he wanted to be preserved and mounted on the saddle on Trigger.

Roy Rogers’ son, Dusty, once said of his father. “Trigger died and Dad had him stuffed. Bullet died and Dad had him stuffed. Buttermilk died and Dad had her stuffed. Now Mom sleeps with one eye open!””
