Uggie

Uggie: My Story by Wendy Holden
225 pages

★★★

Uggie is a terrier that is famous for being in movies such as Water for Elephants and The Artist (neither of which I’ve seen as of yet) and also many commercials and ads. He goes on to “write” this memoir with the help of Wendy Holden. It was cute, it really was. I would like to think that dogs think as written in the book, but alas they don’t. So I found myself annoyed that this dog thought in such a humanistic manner – of course show more how interesting would the book have been if was truly written in the thoughts of a dog? So all is forgiven. It goes through his life from puppyhood to when he is 10ish, his adoption, his training, his interaction within movies and the such. Quite a successful pup who started out as a rescue dog. So it’s a cute and quick read but it goes without saying that it’s not to be taken seriously. Just a fun read from the perspective of a dog…sort of. show less
