Nintendo Hires a "Spokesdog" for nintendogs + cats

Adorable, energetic and 100% canine, meet Uggie, a Jack Russell terrier that co-starred in The Artist, is being enlisted by Nintendo of America to be its new “spokesdog” for nintendogs + cats for the Nintendo 3DS.

“Uggie didn’t have to sit up and beg for his role as Nintendo’s spokesdog,” said Nintendo of America’s Scott Moffitt. “It’s truly our pleasure to work with a star of Uggie’s magnitude, especially to help animal lovers and portable gaming fans discover the fun of nintendogs + cats.”

For February only and in celebration of Responsible Pet Owners Month, Uggie will be showing pet owners how nintendogs + cats can provide “valuable tips on how people can maintain happy, healthy relationships” with their pets in real life.

There isn’t a “spokescat” at this time.
