Random: Got a feeling my blog was starting to become a little too politics-heavy, so time to lighten it up again ...

This time, a news article about a very lucky dog "Trouble" inheriting US$12 million from his deceased mistress, now gets his inheritance cut!

Go to the link to see just how cute the dog is, so I don't blame the rich ex-owner :). Anyway, what impressed me most about the article was that the request for the cuts came from the trustees for the dog, who told the judge that with an annual expense bill of US$190,000 there was no need for US$12 million over it's lifetime. So, US$10 million got sent to the now-dead owner's favored charity instead.

How often do you see a group turn money away like that, and for a practical reason? Unless, of course, the group had interests in the charity which benefits from this fund-transfer ... in which case, I say "meh, so sad" ...
