Uggie the Dog, Star of 'The Artist', Dies at 13
Uggie the dog, who won the hearts of moviegoers for his performance in the 2011 Oscar-winning film The Artist, has died. He was 13.
The beloved and talented Jack Russell Terrier was put to sleep on Friday, Aug. 7, after battling a prostate tumor, TMZ reported.
