Canines Stealing the Show...

So The Artist was a big winner at last night's Golden Globes. I'm thinking nine year old Jack Russell Uggie stole the show in the silent movie. Although Uggie had no chance to show off his vocal range in the film, he did get to show off his ability to play dead, walk on his hind legs and bury his head in his paws. He's so fricken cute! He dickied up very nicely indeed for ceremony night!

However, I didn't think the pure wonderfulness of Cosmo the dog in the film Beginners could be beaten! The Jack Russell terrier played Arthur, dog friend of central character Hal, played stupendously might I add by Christopher Plummer.  Uggie versus Cosmo, the jury is still out for me but those lads are setting the bar high for fellow canine actors!

Lastly, lest I forget, I've never been able to get my head around why people buy dogs when there's so many crying out for homes in rescue shelters, so I was really happy when I learnt that both Cosmo and Uggie were rescued by their families!
