Trouble (figure A), a Lab and poodle mix, lived up to his name from the very start, chewing up his owner's shoes and pantyhose and generally being a handful. But he had a few things going for him: he was adorable, he was smart, and he was loved. So his owner decided to harness some of his misguided energy by teaching him a few tricks, and now his repertoire is impressive. All of which just goes to show that one woman was able to turn a less-than-perfect situation around just because she loved Trouble!
