Surely it would be better for the dog to leave everyone else a fixed annual income for as long as the dog stays alive so everyone has a vested interest in the dog's well-being.

However it could end up like 'Cold Lazarus' with the dog's head attached to a life-support machine to continue it's existence in perpetuity.

why do i have the strange feeling that all rich people are stupid now?

and ive seen alot of what will happen to the cash when the dog dies, but what about while its still alive? maybe the dog will buy a new.. uh.. ok its probably eating it.

Okay, this may sound a little harsh coming from me, but uh...

...what a freak.

12....12....12...12 million? *Eye twitches*
That dog can buy alot of crap to chew on.

ROTFL!!

I love my cat. He's my furry child. But I wouldn't leave all my assets to him should I pass on before he does. I would just be sure he goes to a home where someone would care for him and love him like I do. I wonder if this woman actually thinks her dog will benefit from his inheritance, or if she's just trying to make one last statement to the world? How dumb and egotistic can one get? ???

LOL! 8D That's hilarious. yeah, 12 million dollars,,, to a DOG?! Is it going to keep the money's by itself, or is the money going into da bank?!???

Why are all these rich people leaving all the money to their pets...?

To be fair, there are people who feel closer to their pets than they do to their human family and would naturally want them taken care of. Would any of us want our pets to end up on the street or in an animal shelter if we died? I thought not. Yeah, $12M is excessive, and Ms. Helmsley was probably leaving it to her dog to spite her relatives rather than out of concern for the animal, but in the end it's her money and she can do whatever she wants with it.

Crazy old retard. That's insane! The dog dosen't know what money is!!!! It'll probably eat if it had the chance!

12 million to a dog? What's a dog gonna buy? :terrconf:
