“I think it is important to put the dogs out there. Let them speak for themselves through their actions. I think sometimes we get in their way.” Roo Yori has an amazing platform for rescue dogs and pit bulls. He does not take it lightly. The American Ninja Warrior is brilliant when it comes to getting the work out about his Foundation and adopting from shelters. He is a GREAT guest.
