SHYLEA, a Bouvier des Flandres, awoke owner, Bill Read, to alert him of a fire that was raging through his home. Shylea’s persistent clawing awoke Mr. Read just in time to save himself, Shylea and two cats before the house was completely destroyed.
The Purina Animal Hall of Fame is a celebration of the extraordinary. As Canada’s longest-running pet recognition program, it honours animals whose acts of courage, loyalty, and compassion have left a lasting mark on the lives of others.
At Purina, we believe that pets are everyday heroes. Since the program’s inception, hundreds of animals have been recognized for their bravery and devotion. Their stories inspire us to appreciate the strength and love that animals bring into our homes and communities.
We invite you to learn more about the Purina Animal Hall of Fame and the incredible animals who have been honoured. If you know a pet whose actions deserve recognition, please consider submitting a nomination.
