Trouble is a 10-year-old Shih-Tzu in Ruther Glen, VA, who needs $2,000 for an MRI and possible decompression surgery.

Little Trouble was a rescue that quickly became a best friend. As a truck driver, he was my traveling companion and has been across the country with me several times. I joke that he has become my little shadow. Trouble follows me everywhere and never passes up a ride in the truck. When its time for bed, he sleeps in his little nest of blankets on my side of the bed.
