Plot
Trouble is a pampered dog, living the good life in a mansion with his wealthy, elderly owner, Mrs. Sarah Vanderwhoozie, under the care of her loyal butler, James, and famed animal trainer Cesar Millan. One day, after his owner dies due to natural causes, he is left alone and unaware in her mansion. Claire and Norbert, Mrs. Vanderwhoozie's niece and nephew, arrive to claim their inheritance. While discarding her belongings and planning to sell other priceless items, they accidentally and unknowingly get rid of Trouble, whom they show instant dislike and apathy towards. Nevertheless, to rightfully inherit their aunt's fortune, Claire and Norbert must first be willing and able to bond and take care of Trouble within three days, until they can sign the contract entrusted by their aunt's lawyer, Mr. Macbain; much to their reluctance. Realizing that Trouble is missing, they hire Thurman Sanchez, an Ace Ventura-esque but expert animal tracker, to find him before the deadline.
