MANDY, a five-year-old Yorkshire-Terrier saved the life of Joyce Hart after she suffered a serious heart-attack while visiting her daughter, Sue Parker. Mandy’s persistent barking alerted Sue, who had been working downstairs. When Sue discovered her mother, she quickly dialed 911 and the emergency operator led her through CPR while she waited for the paramedics to arrive.


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. As Canada’s longest-running pet recognition program, it has honoured hundreds of pets for their acts of heroism, loyalty, and love. The Hall of Fame is not only a celebration of these remarkable animals but also an opportunity for Canadians to share their own stories. If you know a pet who has made a difference, we encourage you to nominate them.
