Uggies most beautiful scenes from "The Artist"
Uggie conquered the hearts of millions of people with his tricks and sweetness: in the Oscar-winning silent movie "The Artist" (2011), on the red carpets and in real life.
His fate was actually sealed: His master, the well-known animal trainer Omar von Muller, once brought Uggie from an animal shelter? where he was considered "difficult to communicate". In addition to "The Artist" he also appeared in other movies ("Water for the Elephants") and in commercials. In addition, Uggie was the first dog whose paw prints were immortalized on the famous Walk of Fame in Hollywood. Uggie turned 13 years old. Rest in peace.
