BUTCH, a Border Collie, saved the life of his owner, dairy farmer John Miller, who was being attacked by a vicious bull. The small farm dog flew at the bull and distracted it while Mr. Miller ran to the farmhouse.
At Purina, we celebrate the unique and powerful bond between pets and people through the Purina Animal Hall of Fame. This program, the longest-running of its kind in Canada, honours animals who have demonstrated exceptional courage, loyalty, and love.
These pets have gone beyond being companions—they’ve become heroes. The Hall of Fame is not just a recognition program—it’s a source of inspiration. It reminds us of the everyday heroes who walk beside us on four legs, offering comfort, protection, and unconditional love.
We encourage you to explore the stories of past inductees and consider nominating a pet who has made a difference. To learn more about the Purina Animal Hall of Fame or to submit a nomination for the upcoming year, please click here and complete our form. Help us honour the animals who continue to inspire and uplift us.
