Adjusting to domestic life wasn’t easy for the former street dog, and Roo knew that Wallace needed a mission so he began training him to be a competitive Frisbee Dog. Pitbulls are not Frisbee players, but Roo was determined to make Wallace happy and also change people’s mind about pit bulls. After a journey that was anything but easy, the pair became World Champions, changed thousands of minds about pit bulls, and they changed their sport.
