The Windsor/Essex County Humane Society is preparing to celebrate a century of compassion, and one of its most beloved residents, Pickles the dog, will take centre stage.

The organization plans to honour the street dog, who became a local celebrity in the 1970s, on a new wall of fame as part of its 100th anniversary celebrations in 2026.

Executive Director Lynette Bain said the wall will recognize the animals that have defined each era of the local society's history.

“The portrait was just a way to pay homage to an animal that really left her paw prints on the hearts of so many here,” said Bain.

“She’s going to be taking a really important place in our Wall of Fame that we’re building in celebration of our 100 years.” WATCH | Pickles the dog once roamed the streets of downtown Windso
