Human fights against a dog for inheriting luxury mansion

Conchita could be one of the richest dog in the world as she inherited a seven-bedroom, $8.3 million Miami Beach mansion from her late owner, Gail Posner, a daughter of the corporate takeover artist Victor Posner. She is so rich that even human beings envy her and want to take the wealth away from her.

Ms. Posner died in March at age 67 and left Conchita and two other dogs the mansion in her will. Ms. Posner had a $3 million trust fund to ensure her beloved dogs’ comfort. She also left about $26 million to staff members, including seven bodyguards, housekeepers and personal aides. Some of the staffs were even allowed to live in the mansion without having to pay for rent as Ms. Posner wanted them to take care of the dogs. It’s reasonable for a lady loves dog so much. Ms. Posner used to take Conchita everywhere and brought her different clothes from Archie Manning jersey to Chanel dress. If the story ends by this, it would sound like a fairy story and the dog princess is very likely to become the heroine of some romantic novel. However, as we can expect, human society will not allow such a story end like this.

Ms. Posner’s only living child, Bret Carr inherited only 1 million according to his mother's will, and he thought it was unfair for receiving so much less than a dog. Mr. Carr filed a lawsuit against Conchita and a bevy of his mother's former staff members and advisers, claiming that they conspired to steal his mother’s assets. In 2007 a similar lawsuit resulted in a pet’s inherited wealth being reduced by 10 million (from 12 million to 2 million) and the court considered it improper for legitimate heirs to inherit little or nothing.
