Movingly told by bestselling author Jim Gorant, Wallace will capture the hearts of animal lovers everywhere-and help rescue this popular breed's unfairly tarnished reputation. But after overcoming everything from injuries to prejudice against the breed, the unlikely pair became World Champions. Pit bulls are everything that most Frisbee dogs aren't: large and heavy with thick muscles that can make them look less than graceful. Once Wallace made it home, Roo knew the dog needed a mission, and serendipity led them to the world of competitive Frisbee dogs. Frantic-and even though they already had two dogs-Roo and his wife fought to keep Wallace alive until they could return home to adopt him. While on his honeymoon, Roo learned that Wallace was about to be put down. Andrew "Roo" Yori, a scientist and shelter volunteer, could tell immediately that Wallace was something special. But in the summer of 2005, he was living in a shelter, a refugee from a suspicious pit bull-breeding operation. The author of the New York Times bestseller The Lost Dogs shares the heartwarming tale of one plucky, unwanted pit bull who achieved international celebrity.
