{"product_id":"9781476700489","title":"Uggie--My Story","description":"A heartwarming memoir by the Jack Russell Terrier that starred in \u003ci\u003eThe Artist\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWater for Elephants\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDear Reader:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Wow! Bow wow! It’s been a wild ride—wilder even than learning to water-ski or skateboard. I’m so famous now that \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times \u003c\/i\u003eplugged my autobiography. “Uggie will bark all in a memoir,” it announced. Well, I’ve certainly had a lot to bark about lately.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Even before \u003ci\u003eThe Artist \u003c\/i\u003estunned us all by hitting the big time and winning five Oscars, inside I knew (as did my wonderful acting coach Omar) that I was an artist. I may have been merely a pound-bound hound when I joined Omar’s troupe, and certain species-ist quarters have contended that I mindlessly do tricks for treats, but it’s not true. I was milking a crowd as a young street performer when my canine companions and I were doing gigs for biscuit money. Yes, I’ve always been a bit of an attention-seeker, but aren’t all great actors?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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. And, well, a few more youthful misdemeanors . . .such as Zebra-Gate and Cockatoo-Gate and the truly shameful Binge-Gate.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I’m fond of a good romp, and this candid canine tell-all zips along with revealing tales of celebrity encounters and how I cope with fame. Of course there’s some sad stuff too, including the health problems that forced me into early retirement. I’ve given my all in this honest-to-dog Hollywood memoir, because that’s what I always do. I hope you’ll gobble up every word, just like I wolf down sausages.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLove and licks,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eUggie\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Gallery Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144434303216,"sku":"9781476700489","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476700489_p0.jpg?v=1763609288","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476700489","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
