Can you justify Leona Helmsley giving $12 million to her dog?

"She is inconsiderate of real people vs. animals. She had her priorities messed up and now her grandkids are screwed. I don't think the dog has much use for it. There is only so much dog food you can buy."

"Travesty, a sham and a mockery. Animals don't have an appreciation for life. She should have left her grandkids some money. But she is known as the 'Queen of Mean.'"

Quontrell Lewis
Sophomore
Political Science

"I would be angry if I were her grandchildren. Who gives money to a pet that can't spend money? I would love to know where that money is going. It is just nuts."

Jordan Lane

"It's unfortunate that energy is put into making headlines about her dog when there are more important things in the world that should be covered."

Jeanette Glaze
Freshman
Business

"I guess she felt her dog was the only loyal figure in her life."

Miyako Rauls
Freshman
Nursing

"Maybe she was making a political statement or saying something to her family."

Andy Daniels
