The pooch has dedicated the tome to his celebrity crush Reese Witherspoon
Highlights
- The 10-year-old Jack Russell - who retired from showbiz following his star-making performance in Oscar-winning movie The Artist last year - will reveal new details about his celebrity lifestyle in a book entitled Uggie: My Story.
- The pooch has dedicated the tome to his celebrity crush Reese Witherspoon, who he starred alongside in 2011's 'Water for Elephants', and in the book he tells of a time when he once killed a cat and another occasion when he got drunk after sipping champagne from a glass left on the floor.
- As well as several jokes and hilarious true stories, Uggie also uses the book to urge people to adopt pets who have been left homeless.
- In an extract from the memoir, he writes: "I may be the first dog to win an Oscar and write a best-seller but my most important work is with animal rescue. Please adopt - and if you must buy, buy my book!"
- Uggie collaborated with biographer Wendy Holden on the project, which is released on October 16 through Gallery Books, and the four-legged friend has told readers to expect some "real treats" about his life in the tome.
- He writes: "Expect some real treats. Perhaps not quite as tasty as pizza, but still lip-smackingly good. Not just the stories of how I got into showbiz or why I fell nose over paws in love with my divine Miss W (that's Reese Witherspoon to the rest of you), but also the dirty doggie truth about Cat-Gate."
