Uggie the dog from 'The Artist'
1. The popular #canine star of The Artist has now officially retired from showbusiness, his fans will be sad
to learn.
Uggie the Jack Russell, who stole the show in Michel Hazanavicius's Oscar-winning The Artist last year,
has officially retired from showbusiness in a ceremony at Hollywood's famous Grauman's Chinese
Theatre.
The 10-year-old #dog was immortalised alongside stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable as he
became the first pooch to leave his prints in the forecourt of the famous cinema. Dressed in a black
bow tie, he appeared chipper despite suggestions from his owner in February that a neurological
disorder was partly to blame for his Hollywood exit.
Speaking at the ceremony, Omar von Muller said Uggie would still appear at charity events but had no
plans to return to the movies, where he made his name alongside 2012's best actor Oscar-winner Jean
Dujardin. "Everybody thinks I am a great trainer," said Von Muller. "I don't think so. I think he is just a
great #dog."
