    Update:

Her boyfriend, Kevin Federline, told reporters "I don't want no more Trouble, yo".

    The headline should read:

    "Two future Paris Hiltons averted".

    am i the only one...

    ...who wonders how this actually works, legally? I mean, the dog is hardly able to speak for itself, make purchase decisions, write a will, etc - so doesn't the money essentially belong to the animal's guardian, with a few conditions imposed here and there?

    Marry the dog...

    @Sceptical Bastard: that's not such a crazy idea... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3004930.stm

    ...or ...let the dog bite you / crap on your shoes, and then sue it.

    Or get your own dog to marry it (http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1605321.html), divorce and get some form of canine alimony...
