Default $2 Million Estate - Everyone Wants The Dog

A man who didn't have a will left a $2 million estate, but the most hotly contested item in court has been his golden retriever, Alex.

The four-way dispute over the 13-year-old pet was so intense, an attorney was appointed to represent the dog's interest. On Monday, the judge decided the man's divorced parents should split custody, The Commercial Appeal reported.

"At first glance, the petition seems almost frivolous, but after speaking with all parties, it is evident that this is a highly emotional issue for all involved," said Alex's attorney, Paul Royal, in his report to the probate court.

I think it's sweet. What would be sad was if they were all fighting over the money and no one wanted the dog.

Since the young man committed suicide and the dog was probably his closest companion, no wonder they all want the dog.
