BRIGITTE and BAMBI, eight year old Great Danes alerted their owner, Karin Bjerk-Lisle that her 13-month-old son Forrest had fallen into the family pool. Brigitte, the smaller of the two dogs, squeezed through a sliding door and leapt into the pool, while Bambi barked frantically. Drawn by the commotion of the dogs, Karin found her son, lifted him from the pool and artificial respiration was performed to revive him.
At Purina, we understand that pets and people have a special connection—and this unique bond is celebrated through the Purina Animal Hall of Fame. The Purina Animal Hall of Fame is the longest-running Canadian pet recognition program of its kind. To date, hundreds of amazing animals with outstanding acts of courage and heroism have been inducted and honoured by Purina.
These animals have demonstrated unmatched courage and loyalty, leaving a legacy that highlights the incredible bond between humans and animals, inspiring us all to strive for greatness. Each one has made a significant contribution to improving the lives of both people and animals, becoming a symbol of strength, reliability, and unconditional loyalty. Their stories encourage us to not only appreciate their accomplishments but also to honour the indomitable spirit that helps overcome any challenge.
