‘I’M UGGIE, AND I WAS ADOPTED’: The Artist dog stars in new PETA Ad
Manila — Ten years before garnering international accolades for his performance in The Artist, canine film star Uggie was a rambunctious puppy who was passed off by two different guardians who were unprepared for the Jack Russell terrier’s energy. But dog trainer Omar Von Muller stepped in to prevent Uggie from ending up in an animal shelter and soon fell in love with his fearless, playful attitude—and his star quality. And now, to help other dogs achieve their own rags-to-riches stories, the award-winning pooch is starring in a brand-new PETA campaign that proclaims, “I’m Uggie, and I Was Adopted. Millions of Dogs Are Waiting in Animal Shelters for a Loving Home. Adopt, Don’t Buy.”
