Uggie, the dog who shot to fame in 2011 Oscar-winning film The Artist, has been put to sleep at the age of 13.
The Jack Russell was put down after suffering from a prostate tumour. Uggie played Jean Dujardin's dog in The Artist and also appeared with Robert Pattinson in 2011's Water for Elephants. Uggie's owner Omar Von Muller wrote on Facebook: "We regret to inform to all our friends, family and Uggie's fans that our beloved boy has passed away." He added: "Uggie had a cancerous tumour in the prostate and is now in a better place not feeling pain."
