Uggie makes history with Hollywood paw print honour

Uggie, the Jack Russell star of The Artist, made canine history in Hollywood on Monday (25Jun12) when he became the first dog to leave his paw prints outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

The ceremony also marked the beloved pooch's retirement from the movies after a decade of starring roles.

The event is the latest in a string of honours for Uggie and his trainer Omar von Muller - he won the 2011 Palm Dog Award at the Cannes Film Festival in May and the Golden Collar Award in Los Angeles in February.
