Uggie, the dog who starred in the Artist, has passed away at the age of 13.

The Jack Russell was put down on Tuesday after a battle with prostate cancer, the Guardian reports.

The dog was raised by trainer Omar von Muller and starred as the companion for George Valentin, played by Jean Dujardin, in the Oscar-winning silent film.
