BURLINGTON, ONTARIO
PATCHES, a grey and white cat owned by Laura Utter, saved Laura and her father after a fire broke out in the furnace room of their home. Patches’ screams roused Mr. Utter who gathered his young daughter and the cat and led them outside to safety as the interior of their house was destroyed.
The Purina Animal Hall of Fame is a tribute to the incredible bond between pets and people. As Canada’s longest-standing pet recognition program, it celebrates animals whose acts of courage and loyalty have made a profound impact on the lives of others.
From saving lives to offering emotional support, each inductee has made a meaningful difference. Their stories inspire us to appreciate the everyday heroes in our own homes and communities.
We invite you to explore the stories of past inductees and consider nominating a pet who has shown exceptional courage or loyalty.
