Jiggs - 1969 Inductee

WIARTON, ONTARIO

JIGGS, a young Siamese cat owned by Mr. and Mrs. McGregor roused the sleeping family when a fire broke out early Christmas morning. While one resident died in the fire, Mr. and Mrs. McGregor, their two young sons and a grandmother escaped the flames. Jiggs had collapsed in the apartment and had to be taken outside and revived.


These animals have demonstrated unmatched courage and loyalty, leaving a legacy that highlights the incredible bond between humans and animals, inspiring us all to strive for greatness. Each one has made a significant contribution to improving the lives of both people and animals, becoming a symbol of strength, reliability, and unconditional loyalty. Their stories encourage us to not only appreciate their accomplishments but also to honour the indomitable spirit that helps overcome any challenge.
