It was a pleasure to stage the 2011 Purina Animal Hall of Fame Awards held on May 16th, 2011 at PawsWay Pet Discovery Centre on Queen's Quay in Toronto.

For more than four decades, the Purina Animal Hall of Fame™ has honoured an elite group of pets and service dogs for their extraordinary acts of heroism and bravery, which have saved human lives. From sensing deadly medical conditions to saving their owners from wild animal attacks, more than 150 inductees have been recognized including 125 dogs, 25 cats - and one horse!

This year's inductees included 5 dogs:

K'os - Peterborough, Ontario
Moose - Trenton, Ontario
Scooter & Missy - Cherhill, Alberta
Stinky - Winnipeg, Manitoba
