What a lucky dog, I wish somebody left me that
I cannot find a job in this real estate mortgage mess. A dog is worth more?

Wish she had left some money to an organization that helps animals that aren't as fortunate as her dear "one and only".

I agree with you Lin, it could have made such a difference to have that kind of money donated to an organization that could have helped the whole of the pet world.

Yes....that's nice about the grooming and chef, however, how about the personal love and attention this dog needs after losing it's "Mom". I'm sure the dog is going through a greiving period and may never be the happy dog it once was, and "money" can't buy love or true happiness. This dog needs a new owner to love it and treat her as one of her own. I have a shih tzu (cousin to the maltese) and I know I would die if something happened to her and my baby would be lost without me.

Being a Dog Consultant/Author, and deal with dogs on a daily basis, I give her Kudos to leave the money to her beautiful Maltese. With that being said, I would have loved her to take a "Chunk" of that money, and billed a state of the art, no kill shelter,with a low cost spay and neuter facility

i agree with you all about her donating to worthy charities, but how do you know that she didn't? she probably did donate some of her estate to some charities, but we won't know because we don't get to see her will.

the housekeeper should be ashamed of herself. trying to take money away from a dog. gut once again that is what this world has come to. sue,sue,sue.

Sorry to deflate your sanctimonious preaching folks, but Leona left the vast majority of her fortune to charity. Look it up people, it's all public record. She was a witch in life to her employees but the majority of the Helmsley fortune is going to charity.

This one has me puzzled. I loved my dogs. They 2 of them grew up with my kids. The dogs
was a members of our family but at no time were
they above my children. (meaning they were
loveable but not humans).

I think she is a cut throat bitch nd her family should be ashamed that this women cud be just as much as a bitch when shes dead then when she was alive....way to many other places that money cud have been used...shame on you

THERE IS NO GOD !

Well this dog suxs. and daniel mullane dude, keep your thoughts to yourself! your rude.

why do you care so much? its not like she was gunna leave her money to any of you pathetic losers! get over it in 40 years the moneyll be gone so stop complaining!

While I think it is nice that this dog gets more than most humans do, the dog will never be happy unless it has another person to be close to. No, god does not exist. Think about it, if he did would we be bickering over who gets more money, a dog, human, or charity? besides the point, i had a collie that i grew up with since birth. the dog loved me so much that my when my uncle bill (living at my old house now) took her in, she smelled my scent and ran away to find me. she was led to several of my old friends house who reconized her and brought her home. but one time she did not come back...I miss her still and not a day goes by i do not think of her. however, if i became rich and happy with that dog, i would have given her to dearest friends along with money to take care of her, sanding the majority of my fortune to something worth while, like a cure for cancer

good luck dude, i know how you feel. its pretty hard for a 15 year old to find a job with a goss population of about 20,000 people and less than 2,000 job positions available on the entire island

I love dogs,I would like to have one and put money in his or her account.
I think dog has feeling like human body needs money and health insurance,and I.D and care and fun.

Btw, she did not say "SHE LOVED ANIMALS"... It was stated that her relationship with other humans had never been as well as her relationship to Trouble... So well, that's y she just want to give the money to Trouble instead of anybody else... Well, at least, she gave 15 millions to her bro, n 2 of her grandchildren received 5 millions each and her driver got 100,000... so i think she just really want to give to ppl who she knows very well inside out... She's OK for me...
