LUKE, an Alaskan Malamute rescued his owner, Ron Thomson and a friend from the icy waters of Burrard Inlet. An explosion and fire on Mr. Thomson’s boat left the two men in the water before Luke saved both men.
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. 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.

Help us honour the animals who continue to inspire and uplift us.
