RALPH, un petit chat, a empêché sa maîtresse de mourir gelée ou de suffoquer, alors qu’elle s’était accidentellement enfermée dans son congélateur-chambre. Ralph attira l’attention du père de Mme Bowes en poussant des cris désespérés à partir d’une autre pièce de la maison. M. Bowes suivit alors le chat jusqu’au sous-sol, où il entendit les faibles appels de sa fille qui criait au secours.
The Purina Animal Hall of Fame is a tribute to the extraordinary animals who have demonstrated courage, loyalty, and love in ways that have changed lives. As Canada’s longest-running pet recognition program, it celebrates the powerful bond between pets and people by honouring animals whose actions have gone above and beyond.
At Purina, we believe pets are more than companions—they are protectors, lifesavers, and sources of emotional strength. Since the program began, hundreds of animals have been inducted for their heroic deeds, from alerting families to fires to providing comfort during times of grief and uncertainty.
These stories are not only heartwarming but also deeply inspiring. Each inductee represents the best of what animals bring into our lives: trust, resilience, and unconditional love. The Hall of Fame serves as a reminder of the incredible impact pets have on our communities and our hearts.
We encourage Canadians to explore the stories of past inductees and to reflect on the animals who have made a difference in their own lives. If you know a pet whose actions deserve recognition, please consider submitting a nomination. Click here to learn more or to fill out our nomination form.
