PARIS, ONTARIO

REX, a German Shepherd repeatedly hurled himself against the door leading to the Misic and Zegarac families’ living quarters, arousing the two families during the night as fire engulfed their gas station and the living quarters above.

At Purina, we celebrate the unique and powerful bond between pets and people through the Purina Animal Hall of Fame. This program, the longest-running of its kind in Canada, honours animals who have demonstrated exceptional courage, loyalty, and love.

These pets have gone beyond being companions—they’ve become heroes. From saving lives to offering emotional support, each inductee has made a significant impact on the lives of those around them. Their stories are a testament to the strength of the human-animal connection and the incredible role pets play in our lives.

The Hall of Fame is not just a recognition program—it’s a source of inspiration. It reminds us of the everyday heroes who walk beside us on four legs, offering comfort, protection, and unconditional love.

We encourage you to explore the stories of past inductees and consider nominating a pet who has made a difference. To learn more about the Purina Animal Hall of Fame or to submit a nomination for the upcoming year, please click here and complete our form.
