LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Bob Barker has spent millions of dollars helping elephants, bears, chimps and other animals.

For decades when he was host of “The Price Is Right,” he ended every show with a plea to viewers to spay or neuter their pets.

Animal Defenders International will present him with the Lord Houghton Award on Oct. 13 at a West Hollywood ceremony.

ADI President Jan Creamer says Barker was chosen not only for a lifetime of service, but for his generosity and for repeatedly taking the animal message to Congress.
