OTTAWA, ONTARIO
MIMI, a one-year-old Collie/Shepherd, sensed that something was wrong when her owner, Aline Gagnon, was breathing irregularly during her sleep. Reacting to Mimi’s nervous behaviour, André Gagnon discovered that his wife was in cardiac arrest. André, a professionally trained ambulance attendant, performed C.P.R. and within seconds his wife’s heart had started beating again.
At Purina, we believe that pets enrich our lives in countless ways. The Purina Animal Hall of Fame is our way of celebrating the extraordinary animals who have gone above and beyond. These animals have saved lives, offered comfort, and stood by their humans through life’s most challenging moments. Their stories are powerful reminders of the strength and compassion that pets bring into our lives. Each inductee represents the very best of the human-animal bond.
