The Winners

Beagle


Purina has inducted two heroic Beagles
into its Animal Hall of Fame.
Here are their stories:


Topnotch
1996

 

Milton, Ontario      Topnotch, a four-year-old beagle, never left the side of his 75-year-old owner Jim Thomson when he failed to return from a walk through the woods. After an exhaustive five-day search involving police tracking dogs, Topnotch's barking lead searchers to Mr. Thomson who required immediate medical care for severe dehydration.
 


Dixie
1983

Bramalea, Ontario   Dixie, a Beagle owned by Lloyd Viney, averted a possible tragedy when he located an explosive device hidden in a tree in a small park. Police credited Dixie with potentially saving the lives of many young children who play in the park and may have found the device.
