In Portland, Oregon, in March of 2010, the American Red Cross honored a couple human beings plus Jack the Chihuahua at the annual Fred Meyer Breakfast of Champions.

The previous August, Jack alerted his Oregon City family to the apartment being on fire. When Chris and Angela Santiago were roused, they in turn woke the building's other residents, so that multiple lives were saved.
