Wallace (pitbull)


Wallace was a white pit bull who became a world champion disc dog.

Life and career

As a puppy, Wallace was rescued as a puppy from abandoned breeding operation, adopted by a police officer, later ending up at a shelter. In 2005, Roo and Clara Yori adopted Wallace from an animal shelter in Rochester, Minnesota. He became a world champion disc dog. Wallace was diagnosed with cancer just before his 11th birthday, and was euthanized a year later in August 2013.
A symbol of advocacy for pit bulls, Wallace inspired the foundation of an organization to help dogs through physical training, WOD for Dogs, and was the subject of a 2012 book by Jim Gorant.
