Three years ago, when Whitaker Noble started begging for Blue Jackets season tickets, his parents relied on a time-tested way of saying no to a 12-year-old.
“They told me I could buy the tickets if I could pay for them myself,” said Noble, now a 15-year-old freshman at Bexley High School.
Mixing his love for dogs with the easy walkability of the Bexley neighborhood, Noble created Whit’s Lovin Dog Services, using a Facebook page and word of mouth to build his brand. He’ll scoop poop, feed and walk your dog, even give Fido his medicine.
