The Winners

Whippet


Purina has inducted a heroic Basset Hound
into its Animal Hall of Fame.
Here is his story:

Moose
2011

 

Trenton, Ontario    Jolene Sararas' three-year-old daughter, Alexis was playing with Moose in the family's fenced-in backyard while her mother quickly loaded the dishwasher inside. Before Jolene could join them in the yard, Moose ran in and out of the house twice looking at Jolene oddly. Then he returned to backyard, and began barking and jumping furiously. Jolene walked outside to see what was bothering Moose, and to her horror found Alexis with her neck caught in their backyard wire gate.

Alexis had tried to open the gate which swung back shut, pinning her throat in the narrow gap between the two metal bars. When Jolene found her, Alexis was on the ground with her body outside the gate and her head locked just inside it, barely conscious. Her mother freed her and called 911. Alexis regained consciousness and recovered in hospital with severe bruising on her neck but suffered no permanent injuries.
