Special thanks to Ridgeside K9 Central Illinois for taking the time to come in and talk about careers with animals. Students found out what it's like to own and operate a business in the Pekin area, as well as the rewards of having furry co-workers. Thank you, Ridgeside K9! #FutureFocus #DragonPride
