Uggie Makes the Grade
Yes Folks. As the big gongs are on the way with the Baftas and the Oscars this month Uggie has made his appearance on The Artist poster in the UK.
If snubbed by the gong authorities the pulling power of this pooch an no longer be in doubt.
Uggie takes centre stage. Uggie takes the biscuit. Uggie steals our hearts.
Bravo Uggie. Who cares about trophies when you have been endorsed by the court of public opinion. And the verdict is that you are, without doubt, A STAR!
As her Prince flies to the South Atlantic, Kate has found comfort with the arrival of a cocker spaniel. Lordy! the perfect not a foot wrong pair have now made themselves more idyllic.
The black pup is from a dog owned by Kate’s parents. Maybe Wills grandmother will take the hint and send over a corgi for the pining princess.
The only strange element to this sweet story is that the private pair have refused to reveal the name. Not even the sets.
Still let’s turn that to our advantage and speculate what they might name this clearly metrosexual mutt.
Something unisex might work. So they might even consider my own moniker Mutt.
“Well done that dog!” says Vogue’s Hamish Bowles
Lordy, this dog is truly going global in media terms. The wonderful Uggie has been this fine day been honoured with a profile in the esteemed Sunday Times. This item is the traditional preserve of biped prestige newsmakers like Meryl Streep or Robbie Williams or Angela Merkel. But – lo- today the pages covered the groundbreaking impact of the fabulous Uggie.
The article track his balloning impact on this year’s award season. The pressure for a dog gong is mounting. But the piece makes the point that Uggie has, thankfully, scooped an award. And I quote
“He already holds a cinematic award that any self respecting dog would covet. Last year he was given the canine equivalent of the Cannes Film Festival’s top prize, the Palme d’Or.
Uggie won the Palm Dog.”
Hurrah for Uggie!
