Mickey Rourke's Dog Dies Before Oscars

Mickey Rourke, who is nominated for a best actor Academy Award for his role in the movie "The Wrestler," always thought that he'd get a second chance at success in Hollywood.

The 52-year-old actor told that his performance as aging professional wrestler Randy "the Ram" Robinson represents the best work of his career.

Rourke, who thanked his dogs, "the ones who are here and the ones who aren't here anymore", in his Golden Globes acceptance speech, said goodbye to one of his best friends this week. Rourke's Chihauhau Loki died early Tuesday morning.
