Simply amazing what judges and lawyers can do. your wishes in life and death mean nothing to the courts of so called law.

I think the dogs and people who work with dogs deserve the money. I agree that expensive lawyers shouldn’t be able to alter a dead person’s wishes, even if that dead person was a complete b*tch. The only thing I don’t understand is how her dog Trouble can use the multiple millions left to him (her?) alone. Fresh-killed dog food?

How does this add up? $2 million for the dog, $6 million for each of the grandchildren and $10 million for charity. This makes $24 million, not $12 million.

Also, I agree with bp – this was her money to distribute how she chose. She must have been incredibly bitter to not give it to, oh, say PEOPLE, but it was still her say.

Its simple the grand kids wanted the $$$ and got lawyers to bribe/blackmail the judge to turn the monies over to them, im sure if the dog was smart enough to lawyer up and bribe the judge it would still get the money.

Simple fact is the rules are rules, and no NY judge can change someone elses will. but it does happen every once in a while with crooked judges, I think the B&B.com should post the name of the judge so all know who is the one to buyout for legal laws and favors.

I’m perplexed as to why the courts can change her will. This is pure judicial activism.

hate to say it-the judge had no right to do it. As offensive as it is that this women could be so callous to her grandchildren and generous with her dog-it was HER WILL, HER MONEY and the judge had no right to do this.
