technicat reviewed Wallace by Jim Gorant
nice, heartwarming story Wallace, the Rocky of pit bulls
4 stars
I find any decently written dog story is irresistible, and this one about a pit bull saved from ending up in dogfights (couple of Michael Vick references in there - he did his time but I still wouldn't want him as a pet sitter) and being put down in a shelter because of his breed to end up as a frisbee, I mean disc, champion, is no exception. The human protagonists are sympathetic, too, struggling through life issues while staying devoted to their dogs (they adopted a lot). The writing was a bit confusing at times - I often lost track of what event or round or even person the author is referencing - and there is an unnecessary use of "off the reservation" which is always unnecessary. But otherwise, there's a lot of good messaging here.
