Uggie


As we walked into the International lounge in LA. This lovely boy was sitting up on a couch looking intently at his owners laptop. We were both smitten being terrier lovers but also slightly harried given the long flight ahead and with only a half hour to make use of the buffet so we didn't think anymore about him. But much later between episodes of "Girls' (watch it asap) on the flight, I started thinking about the dog we saw in the lounge. Dawgs do travel quite freely domestically in the States but not usually internationally and definitely not off lead in the lounge. Plus there was something particular about that dog. I fretted over it and finally the lightbulb went on - this dog looked a lot like Uggie - the canine star from 'The Artist'. When we got to Auckland, I googled him and sure enough it was him. Apparently he was originally rejected by 2 owners for being too wild and was about to be sent to the pound when he was adopted by a dog trainer who found him smart and willing to work - especially for sausages - a bit like Nigel.
