Now, this isn't your ordinary, average dog.
He is soft, cuddly and has a very important job.
Like Lilly, he is another local hero.
His name is Trouble and he is anything but that!
Meet Trouble the Dog...

Life has so many challenges these days for both adults and children. I love the message that Trouble is spreading around the world, no matter how big or small your troubles are, there is always hope!
I am so thankful for my furry pals who I can count on to lift my spirits when I'm down in the dumps...

That is pretty cool! He looks like a little less trouble then some of the pups I know though! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty cute doggy with a strange name but he evidently does a lot of good.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea.
ReplyDeleteguys....how kewl is thiz !!!! we enjoyed reedin yur post two day & lurnin bout trouble !! ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing to do. I like how trouble has un matched eyes too - which is important in therapy showing not everyone is perfect in appearance - it's what is inside that counts.
ReplyDeleteThis is cute, and a great cause.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a wonderful thing. My Stepmom used to make hand crafted stuffed bears with some other ladies, all with little outfits, both girl and boy beers and take them to the kids in the trauma unit. They were all so beautiful, but for one, made out of a new, cheaper material they tried, and the hair fell out. He wasn't given to anyway, and stayed at home where we named him Rogaine bear.
DeleteI am so going to link and share this. Bless who ever came up with this, and all of you who promote it.
This is such a great idea. I really love the message on their bracelets. ☺
ReplyDeleteWe will check him out - thanks!
