TENNESSEE MAN LEAVES $5 MILLION TO DOG IN HIS WILL

They say dogs are man’s best friend, and it’s apparently true for at least one man. Tennessee businessman Bill Dorris died late last year, and the 84-year-old left $5 million to his eight-year-old border collie, Lulu. Dorris’ friend, Martha Burton, had already been watching Lulu for several years by the time he passed away. The will specifies that $5 million is to be placed in a trust to provide for Lulu’s care, and that the dog will remain with Burton. Burton is to be reimbursed for normal monthly expenses as approved by a conservator managing the trust.
