PATSY Award The PATSY Award was originated by the Hollywood office of the American Humane Association in 1939. They decided to honor animal performers after a horse was killed in an on-set accident during the filming of the Tyrone Power film Jesse James . The letters are an acronym, and stand for P icture A nimal T op S tar of the Y ear. A later acronym was also included: P erforming A nimal T elevision S tar of the Y ear. The very first recipient of a PATSY was Francis the Talking Mule in 1951, in a ceremony hosted by Ronald Reagan at Hollywood's Carthay Circle Theater . The award later covered both film and television and was separated into four categories: canine, equine, wild and special. The special category encompassed everything from goats to cats to pigs - Arnold Ziffel of TV's Green Acres was a two-time winner. Arnold's trainer, Frank Inn , was the proud owner of over 40 PATSY awards, thanks to his work with Orangey , the cat from Rhubarb and Breakfast at Tiffany's ; Higgins , the dog ; Cleo the Basset Hound; and Lassie , and Tramp the dog from My Three Sons to name a few. Lassie was retired to the PATSY Hall of Fame after receiving many awards over the years. The Craven Award was named in honor of Richard C. Craven, the first director of the Hollywood AHA. It recognized animals that would normally have had no opportunity to appear in a starring role. The TV and Movie Animal Walk of Fame was established in front of the Burbank Animal Shelter, honoring certain early recipients of the PATSY Awards. By the 1970s, the awards were being presented in a televised ceremony, with animal recipients selected by the general public who voted in ballots which appeared in Associated Press newspapers. The first network presentation was on CBS in 1973. Over the years the PATSY Award ceremony was hosted by various celebrities, including Betty White , Allen Ludden , and Bob Barker . Barker has stated he eventually resigned in protest of the cruel methods some trainers use when training animals for films. The awards ended in 1986 due to lack of funding. That year the Genesis Awards were established to honor individuals in the major news and entertainment media for producing outstanding works which raise public awareness of animal issues. In 2011 the American Humane Society announced the creation of the Pawscars, described as, "an unofficial, animal-centric spin on the Oscars."The American Humane Association is the organization responsible for the disclaimer at the end of many films and television programs that "No Animals Were Harmed" in the production.PATSY Award Winners (partial listing) Source, 1951–1973:1951 Motion Pictures Francis the Talking Mule California the horse Pierre the chimp Award of Excellence Flame the dog Lassie the dog Black Diamond the horse Jackie the Lion Craven Award Motion Pictures Rhubarb the cat Francis the mule Award of Excellence Chinook the dog Diamond the horse Corky the dog Craven Award Smoky the horse - owned/trained by Fat Jones1953 Motion Pictures Jackie the lion Bonzo the Chimp Trigger the horse Award of Excellence Francis the mule Tramp Jr. the dog Cheeta the chimp Chinook the dog Craven Award Bracket the horse - owned by Hudkins Stables1954 Motion Pictures Sam the dog Francis the mule Jackie the lion Award of Excellence Baron the dog Peggy the chimp Jackie the lion Craven Award Motion Pictures Beauty the horse Francis the mule Esmerelda the seal Award of Excellence Shep the dog Satin the tiger Beauty the horse Craven Award Motion Pictures Wildfire the dog Francis the mule Faro the dog Award of Excellence Craven Award Flame the dog - owned/trained by Frank Barnes1957 Motion Pictures Samantha the goose Beauty the Horse Francis the mule Award of Excellence Silver the horse Lady the dog Bascom the dog Craven Award King Cotton the horse - owned/trained by Ralph McCutcheon1958 Motion Pictures Spike the dog Beauty the horse Kelly the dog Television Lassie the dog Cleo the dog Rin Tin Tin the dog Award of Excellence Craven Award Motion Pictures Pyewacket the cat Tonka the horse Henry the rabbit Television Lassie the dog Asta the dog Rin Tin Tin the dog Award of Excellence King the dog Jasper the dog Craven Award Baldy the horse - owned by Fat Jones Stables / trained by William "Buster" Trow1960 Motion Pictures Shaggy the dog Herman the pigeon North Wind the horse Television Asta the dog Lassie the dog Fury the horse, Jasper the dog Craven Award Sharkey, Dempsey, Choctaw, and Joker the horses1961 Motion Pictures King Cotton the horse Spike the dog Stubbs the monkey, Skip the dog Television Tramp the dog Lassie the dog Fury the horse1962 Motion Pictures Orangey the cat Pete the dog Flame the horse Television Mister Ed the horse Lassie the dog Tramp the dog1963 Motion Pictures Big Red the dog Sydney the elephant Zamba the lion Television Mr. Ed the horse Lassie the dog Tramp the dog Craven Award Mickey O'Boyle the horse1964 Motion Pictures Tom Dooley the dog Pluto the dog Raunchy the jaguar Television Lassie the dog Mr. Ed the horse Tramp the dog1965 Motion Pictures Patrina the tiger Storm the dog Junior the dog Television Flipper the dolphin Lassie the dog Mr. Ed the horse Craven Award Motion Pictures Syn Cat the cat Clarence the lion Judy the chimp Television Flipper the dolphin Lord Nelson the dog Higgins the dog Craven Award Motion Pictures Elsa the lion Duke the dog Vindicator the steer Television Judy the chimp Flipper the dolphin Arnold the pig 1968 Motion Pictures Ben the bear Sir Tim the mountain lion Sophie the sea lion Television Arnold the pig Ben the bear Clarence the lion1969 Motion Pictures Albarado the horse Television Arnold the pig Timmy the chimp Chauncey the cougar1970 Motion Pictures Rascal the raccoon Television Scruffy the dog Algae the seal Craven Award Motion Pictures Ben the rat Television Arnold the pig Margie the elephant, Lassie's family three pups Pax the dog Otto the horse1972 Motion Pictures Ben the rat Television Farouk the dog Morris the Cat Craven Award Motion Pictures )Television Television Movie Television Commercials Sharon Evans AHA PATSY Award winner 1st Place with "Midnight" the Cat for best animal performance in a TV Series.
