To be fair, there are people who feel closer to their pets than they do to their human family and would naturally want them taken care of. Would any of us want our pets to end up on the street or in an animal shelter if we died? I thought not. Yeah, $12M is excessive, and Ms. Helmsley was probably leaving it to her dog to spite her relatives rather than out of concern for the animal, but in the end it's her money and she can do whatever she wants with it.
