Wallace And Hector - Pit Bull Ambassadors by LeopardWolf

Wallace And Hector - Pit Bull Ambassadors

LeopardWolf

A sculpture commission for my good friends Clara and Roo Yori.

Wallace The Pit Bull

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.

Hector The Pit Bull

Hector was an amazing dog. A gentle and caring soul and all around fun loving. He was rescued from Michael Vick's dog fighting ring and later adopted by my friends. Despite the horrible treatment he received in his early years, he never became aggressive. His gentle personality led to him eventually becoming a therapy dog.

He frequently visited schools, nursing homes, and hospitals. Hector 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.
