A sculpture commission for my good friends Clara and Roo Yori.
Wallace was an amazing dog. A world champion sports dog and an all around fun loving guy. Rescued from a shelter when deemed a "liability", my friends worked with him and trained him and he became an amazing canine athlete. He even had a book written about him!
Wallace worked in the public eye to raise awareness against breed discrimination and the plights of animals in shelters. He traveled to events all over the country and touched the lives of many.
