Have you ever had a family member suffer from an illness? If you have you will appreciate the foundation of this wonderful toy. The back story is beautiful, and it has touched hearts everywhere. It started with a kind hearted girl who drew a picture of “Trouble” because she felt that people of all ages could benefit from him.
“Here’s Trouble!” In January, 2006, after some tough times of her own, then twelve year old Kendra Duncan of Marblehead, Massachusetts, decided that kids (and adults too) could use some help during difficult times … maybe they were ill, or had lost a loved one … or were simply feeling a little bit afraid. They needed a great big hug … and more!She sat down and drew a very simple little pup, and named him “Trouble”! She then worked with her aunt, Sheila, to design a cuddly plush toy as well as a children’s book which tells Trouble’s story of rescue and hope…and how to “be tough” when times are hard. Trouble has a mission … to make people feel better … and he does! It’s magical!
When I got the opportunity to review this adorable puppy I was happy. I knew that this was something that people would remember forever. There were a few times in my childhood when I wish I had a little “Trouble” of my own. And I know my daughter will grow up knowing the good that “Trouble” has done and she will cherish this adorable plush pet forever.
The company behind “Trouble the Dog” are doing great things, this year they are making a visit to the Hasbro Children’s Hospital. This is all thanks to the wonderful donations from people around the world, and because of those donations the children who really need and deserve the “Trouble the Dog” items will get them!
Not only does “Trouble” have a plush, a book, and a cd version of his story, it is the companies dream to make “Trouble the Dog” into an animated series. The shows purpose would be to help teach children to be strong during tough times.
Check out their website, and buy a “Trouble the Dog” for somebody special today.
Now I love everything this company is doing, and a big pat on the back to Sheila Duncan who helped her niece make all of this possible. It is truly amazing and beautiful, and I am proud to say that I have had the pleasure to meet such gracious people.
Thanks to Sheila and “Trouble the Dog” we are giving away one “Trouble!”

Oh trouble is so adorable! I’d send him to my step mom. 2 years ago she was at work and the fire alarm went off due to the heat. As she ran to turn it off before the fire department came she slipped and fell. She woke up over an hour later in the hospital. She had hit her head so hard she had a concussion, neck injuries, and she broke her hip.
She just stopped having to use a cane a couple months ago, though having to move a month ago due to my dad being fired and they having to scramble to find a place to move into or be homeless she injured herself again and is once again having to use crutches to get around and can barely get herself to the bathroom without help. I think that Trouble would help bring a smile to her face given everything they’ve gone through as of late.
I would give him to my sister in law whose oldest son is about to go off to boarding school
Hi, I just found your wonderful site today. I saw that you had done a review of myclyns and came to read about it. Then, I started looking around your site and found this giveaway. Thanks for hosting
I would definitely give this adorable puppy to my 4 year old son. I gave birth to another beautiful baby boy about 8 months ago. Although my oldest son is trying to adjust to all of the changes a new baby brings to the family, he does have times where I can see that he is having trouble. It’s been very difficult for him to adjust to not being the only one receiving all of the attention,as well as all of the gifts from myself, his daddy and both sets of grandparents. I think he would really feel special if he were given this toy.
I would give Trouble to my eldest son who has PDD-NOS. He has such a hard time being understood and get frustated so easily.
I would love to win! Happy Holidays!
I would love to give Trouble to my brand-new niece. She isn’t going through a crisis yet but I think he would be a great dog for her to have as she grows up, knowing that she has Trouble with her!
I would love to win this
