Thing Called Love
Here are just a few examples of just how far the human/dog bond goes. Enjoy! • New York Real Estate Billionaire Leona Helmsly left 12 million dollars in her will to her dog “Trouble” and cut out two of her four grandchildren entirely. • Magel Barrett-Raddenberry Bequest: 4 million to her dogs (unspecified number) Magel was the widow of “Star Trek’s” creator. She also left an additional 1 million for the employee who would be caring for her pets. Chihuahua “Conchita,” Maltese “April Marie” and Yorkshire Terrier “Lucio” were left 11 million by their owner( which included an 8 million dollar mansion). The dogs perks include their weekly appointments to the Pet Spa in a Gold Escalade. • Oprah Winfrey is still thankfully with us but she has a bequest for 30 million in trust for her dogs just in case. • Carlotta Liebenstein (a questionable bequestor or publicity stunt?) has left 80 million to her pet German Shepherd “Gunther III”. Need we say more about the power of love and the inexplicable connection between people and their pets.
