CHARLIE, a German Shepherd/Husky mix, awoke owner, Tom Van Impe, early one morning as a haze of smoke filled the room. Charlie persistently growled, whined and tugged at Mr. Van Impe’s arm until he awoke and led Charlie and a guest out to safety.
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.
From alerting families to danger to offering comfort during difficult times, each inductee has made a meaningful contribution. 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.
