Wallace (pitbull)


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

Life and career

As a puppy, Wallace was rescued from a closed puppy mill and adopted by a police officer. He was given up by that owner and in 2005, was rescued from an animal shelter in Rochester, Minnesota, where he was at risk for euthanasia. 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.
