Otherwise known as "Pete, the Dog With the Ring Around His Eye", or simply "Petey", he was famous for having a circled eye that was added on by Hollywood make-up artist Max Factor and credited as an oddity in Ripley's Believe It or Not.
The original Pete named Pal the WonderDog had a natural ring almost completely around his eye; dye was used to finish it off.
This dog, called "Lucenay's Peter", was dual-registered as an AKC Staffordshire Bull Terrier and as a UKC American Pit Bull Terrier.
