3 dogs worth $800,000 reside in Maryland

What is running through the minds of rich folk leaving their fortunes to their beloved pets?

I mean, seriously, these people leave billions to pets who have no idea what they have inherited.

I just read an article about 3 happy pups who inherited $800,000.  Now, they aren’t as rich as Leona Helmsley’s little maltese Trouble, but they still have a $400,000 estate, plus the other $400,000.

These people must be insane to leave that kind of money in the hands of their dogs.  Their little pooches are only going to live another 6 months to a year after their owner’s passing… so why?

The dogs — named Buckshot, Katie and Obu-Jet — inherited $400,000 and a house in Hagerstown with the death last year of owner Ken Kemper. Altogether, their estate is worth about $800,000.

The beagle and two Labrador mixes were strays when Kemper adopted them. They now live at their house with caretaker Roy Grady.

They might not be aware of their wealth, but they do know that on one night a week Grady treats them to spaghetti dinner, with meatballs and garlic bread.

That’s it? vet bills and spaghetti with garlic bread?  they better be eating off a gold plate for only getting one day of luxury as rich dogs.

Read more about these living the rich life.
