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.

the money would be better placed in a charity to feed starving children.....

Her money, her dog she's entitled to do what she wants. If it was given to family et al the Government would surely tax it 3 times over! Mind you if they get wind of this they may start taxing money left to animals...or do they already???
