LOS ANGELES (AP) — Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier who became a canine star for his scene-stealing role in the Oscar-winning movie "The Artist," has died.
His owner, animal trainer Omar Von Muller, said Wednesday that Uggie was euthanized Friday after a bout with prostate cancer. The dog was 13.
In "The Artist," Uggie played the canine companion to Jean Dujardin's fading silent-film star. The movie won Academy Awards for Best Picture, lead actor and director in 2011.
