Uggie, the Artist

Więcej o książce

Dear Reader: Wow! Bow wow! It’s been a wild ride—wilder than learning to water-ski or skateboard. I’m so famous now that The New York Times plugged my autobiography. “Uggie will bark all in a memoir,” it announced. I’ve certainly had a lot to bark about lately. Even before The Artist stunned us all by winning five Oscars, I knew (as did my wonderful acting coach Omar) that I was an artist. I may have been a pound-bound hound when I joined Omar’s troupe, but I was milking a crowd as a young street performer for biscuit money. Yes, I’ve always been a bit of an attention-seeker, but aren’t all great actors? Expect some real treats—stories of how I got into showbiz, why I fell nose over paws in love with my divine Miss W (Reese Witherspoon), and the dirty doggie truth about Cat-Gate. Plus, a few youthful misdemeanors like Zebra-Gate and the truly shameful Binge-Gate. This candid canine tell-all zips along with revealing tales of celebrity encounters and how I cope with fame. Of course, there’s some sad stuff too, including the health problems that forced me into early retirement. I’ve given my all in this honest-to-dog Hollywood memoir, and I hope you’ll gobble up every word, just like I wolf down sausages. Love and licks, Uggie
