Target's mascot, Bullseye, learns new tricks in marketing blitz

New York

AS the United States geared up for the latest Star Wars extravaganza, Bullseye lounged at a private spa outside Los Angeles, soaking in a bath, sprawling out for a massage and offering up her padded feet for a pedicure.

Bullseye, a 7-year-old bull terrier, is one of three dogs that take turns as the retailer Target's roly-poly mascot. Her beauty regimen, her trainer explained, was part of preparations for a Star Wars-themed shopping event.
