Candy - 1981 Inductee

GRANBY, QUÉBEC

CANDY, a Bloodhound originally from Sarnac, N.Y., tracked and found an autistic child that had been lost in a wooded area. Candy’s tracking saved the child who had been outside in the rain and near-freezing temperature for four days.


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. From saving lives to offering emotional support, each inductee has made a significant impact on the lives of those around them. Their stories are a testament to the strength of the human-animal connection and the incredible role pets play in our lives.
