Story4.5 out of 5 stars 337
Today, Wallace is a champion; but in the summer of 2005, he was living in a shelter, a refugee from a suspicious pit bull-breeding operation. Then Andrew “Roo” Yori entered the picture. A scientist and shelter volunteer, Roo could immediately see that Wallace was something special. While on his honeymoon, Roo learned that Wallace was about to be put down. Roo and his wife franticly fought to keep Wallace alive until they could return home to adopt him - even though they already had two dogs.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have spread the word about this book to everyone. As a Pit Bull advocate, I was so excited to listen to a true story of a positive nature concerning Pit Bulls. I love the breed and fight hard every day for them. EVERYONE should read this wonderful and true story of a win for the breed.
Which scene was your favorite?
it was all too good to pick any part as a favorite
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
it was just an awesome book throughout.
Any additional comments?
I would love to hear a story that would continue with the Yori's about Hector. I've met one of the other Vick dogs and the positive change in these dogs would be wonderful to listen to.

A MUST Read
Reviewed: 07-15-11
I have never read a more heartwarming, honestly told story in my life. Makes me want to be in Utah helping these people. I found the people and the animals so wonderful and the hard work that the people had from the beginning and they never faltered. This is a must read for anyone who loves animals or contributes to any organization. I highly recommend it.
