Jack

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC

JACK, a two-month-old kitten gave Corrie Owens and her five-month-old son, Brandon, the best Christmas gift of all. As their apartment rapidly filled with smoke early Christmas morning, Corrie was awakened by Jack’s persistent meowing and discovered the entire building was ablaze. While Corrie and Brandon escaped unharmed with Jack, the fire destroyed all of their belongings and left 14 tenants homeless.

At Purina, we celebrate the deep and meaningful connection between pets and people. This bond is the foundation of the Purina Animal Hall of Fame, Canada’s longest-running pet recognition program. Since its launch, the Hall of Fame has honoured hundreds of animals for their extraordinary acts of bravery, loyalty, and compassion.

These animals have demonstrated remarkable courage—saving lives, comforting those in distress, and standing by their humans through thick and thin. Their stories serve as a testament to the powerful role pets play in our lives and communities. Each inductee has left a legacy that continues to inspire.
