Pampered pooch inherits $12m

Pampered pooch inherits $12m

Is it ever acceptable to bequest money to a pet? New York billionaire Leona Helmsley has left $12m (£5.97m) to her pet dog, Trouble. Is this a terrible waste of money or is safeguarding the upkeep of a loved pet understandable? Should the courts overturn her will and leave the money to her family instead? Have your say.

    It is a joke these people are crazy the dog should be looked after by the family and the money should be shared.

    I personally prefer animals to people, that's my choice.
    Elixir from St. Helens, people like you are the reason I feel like that.

    As for dogs standing over your grave weeping, we know they can't do that. But I do know that her dog is pining for her more than any of the bloody greedy, avaricious people around her!

    Sod off all you bloody fools who say the money should go to poor countries, what have you done lately for the poor in your own country let alone another one! SOUR GRAPES!!!

    Fed up of giving my hard earned cash to counries abroad. Charity begins at home and YES that DOES include animals. If people don't love their animals like part of their family, THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE THEM. Bing it the hell on. "Ave it!!!
