This year’s 4-H hand pet competition went to Emily Wittgartner — who says she wasn’t quite ready for the top honor.
Wittgartner brought Angel, a ferret, and says her pet has come a long way since they first entered three years ago.
There may be variations in the tactics, but Wittgartner says the core of training is pretty simple.
Wittgartner says she’s surprised, but she’s also grateful for how far Angel has progressed.
