Uggie was rescued when he was only 2. He is now a 10 year old Jack Russell Terrier. Two families decided not to keep Uggie because he was wild with energy. His trainer heard about him and took him in as a foster- and fell in love and kept him, along with 7 other dogs, to star in movies. Uggie has been in 3 movies, most recently winning awards for his performance in The Artist.
Uggie's chances at the pound would not have been good because of his lively personality. However, that no fear attitude works well on movie sets- well, that and sausage treats. Every dog has its place, and perfect owners/partners in life. Congrats Uggie!
