PEACHES, an English Setter/Lab mix, owned by Willis Marshal, forced her way into the house to wake the family during the night. Peaches alerted the family to an electrical fire, undetected by the fire alarm, that was burning close to a propane gas line.
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.
These pets have gone beyond companionship—saving lives, offering comfort, and standing by their humans in times of need. Their stories are a testament to the strength of the human-animal bond and the incredible impact pets have on our well-being.
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.
