BENJIE, a Cocker Spaniel assisted in the rescue of a young climber who was helplessly dangling from the Elora Gorge. Benjie attracted the attention of his owner, Don Guthrie and led him from his home to the cliff where they rescued the teenager who had become entangled in the ropes.
At Purina, we honour the powerful connection between pets and people through the Purina Animal Hall of Fame. This program, the longest-running of its kind in Canada, recognizes animals whose acts of bravery and loyalty have changed lives.
Each inductee into the Hall of Fame represents courage, resilience, and unconditional love. Their legacies continue to inspire Canadians to value and celebrate the animals in their lives.
We encourage you to learn more about these remarkable animals and consider nominating a pet hero of your own. Whether it’s a dog who protected a family or a cat who provided emotional support, every story matters.
