8-Year-Old Milford Entrepreneur Goes Viral for Repurposing Tennis Balls—and Giving Back to Shelter Dogs

A kid from Milford is going viral for his enterprising home business repurposing used tennis balls. Pierson Ross – who is just 8 years old – noticed that there were thousands of used tennis balls piling up in his family’s garage because his dad Rodney is a tennis pro. He told CBS Boston had the idea to sell them for 25 cents each from his front but has also donated hundreds of them to local animal shelters for the dogs to enjoy. He says he is learning about saving as well as giving.
