WHISKERS, a cat owned by Margaret Philp, awoke her owner in the middle of the night to alert her of a fire that was raging in the kitchen. Whiskers actions enabled Mrs. Philp to alert the rest of the family and escape unharmed.
The Purina Animal Hall of Fame is a celebration of the extraordinary. As Canada’s longest-running pet recognition program, it honours animals whose acts of courage, loyalty, and compassion have left a lasting mark on the lives of others. These stories highlight the powerful role pets play in our lives and the deep emotional bonds we share with them.
From alerting families to danger to offering comfort during difficult times, each inductee has made a meaningful contribution. Their stories inspire us to appreciate the strength and love that animals bring into our homes and communities.
We invite you to learn more about the Purina Animal Hall of Fame and the incredible animals who have been honoured. If you know a pet whose actions deserve recognition, please consider submitting a nomination.
