You realize, of course, that Leona Helmsley has not just bequeathed $12m to her little dog "Trouble" but $8B to dogs in general?
As Jeffrey Toobin wrote last week in The New Yorker, it's all legal. Fact is, she specifically hated every human in her life (except her dear husband Harry) and generally hated everybody else. The New Yorker

She sounds like an evil shrew but I like the idea of leaving the money to an animal care foundation!

I never thought my husband would have anything in common with Leona Helmsley... they both generally hate all people. In fact, I'm pretty much the only person he likes.

I do, however, agree with Jules (as usual)... I love that the cause is caring for animals.
