Hello, I saw your article and all the recent press on Uggy (actually spelled Uggie), and was wondering why we were not contacted directly? My company provided him on “The Artist” and his actual owner, Omar Muller and I were the on set trainers with Uggie at all times. We both noticed Uggie received this award by reading about it online.

Please would you contact us directly for future correspondence? we are happy to do press on this wonderful film that we were lucky to be a part of.

Sincerely,

Sarah J. Clifford

I wish to know which cinemas in Warwickshire are showing “The Artist” please.
Many Thanks
Jo James
