Uggie is 10 years old (retirement age in human years), so it makes sense that he wants to "lay in the sun by the pool."
"Uggie's still enjoying it but he’s getting up there and he’s slowing down a little," trainer Sarah Clifford -- who spent 15-hour days training Uggie for "The Artist" -- told THR.
Uggie has even inspired a Facebook campaign to allow animals to be nominated in mainstream categories -- and he's up for two Golden Collars next month. But does he top Toto, Lassie and Benji? From Eddie on "Frasier" to Sandy in "Annie," click through our slideshow and let us know: Who is Hollywood's top dog?
