Walk the Dog

Teresa Ehrat, 12, strolls through her East Peoria neighborhood with her chihuahua Isabella and her neighbor's weimaraner Dawson (not pictured) on Wednesday afternoon. Ehrat started her small dog-walking, sitting and training business in April when she asked Dawson's owners if she could walk their dog for a quarter. They offered her a dollar instead. Her business has since grown to 16 dogs around the neighborhood. DAVID ZENTZ/JOURNAL STAR
