Woman Leaves $200,000 Estate To Her Beloved Dog


A three-year-old adorable Maltese named Bella Mia is certainly loved by her human owner. The dog has an extensive wardrobe and jewelry. Rose Ann Bolasny, 60, of Queens, New York, is leaving a large portion of her estate to her canine child, and she stated the following, according to the National Dog News Examiner.

“I feel like I gave birth to Bella Mia, she’s absolutely like a child to me.”

Dog owners can relate to loving their dogs and wanting to ensure that they are taken care of in a manner to which they are accustomed. So Bolasny wanted to ensure that Bella Mia is set for life should anything happen to her and her husband. The estate left in her will to the dog is worth approximately $200,000, which includes a trust fund for an appointed caregiver, as well as a vacation home in Florida.

Bolasny has two human sons, too. How do they feel about a dog receiving such a large portion of their parents’ estate? Apparently, there are no hard feelings, and Bolasny indicated that “[t]hey adore her. They absolutely adore her,” according to Inside Edition. She also stated the following.

“She is the best dressed pet in the world. I wanted to make sure, God forbid something happened to my husband or I, that Bella Mia was taken care of… I’m sure everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don’t really look at the negative, I look at the positive of it [making sure that Bella Mia is taken care of by providers.]”

Bella Mia is apparently very well-loved and taken care of by Bolasny, and accompanies her human caretakers many places, often displaying one of her precious outfits.

What do you think about providing for pets after we depart? Many are left with no one to care for them otherwise. Please leave your comments below.

Many people are truly dedicated to their animals. Hillary Barrows was really put to the test of how much she cared about her two dogs. She is actually living in her car so that she is able to keep her two beloved dogs, Robbie and Cleo. Barrows, 57, spent eight years teaching English across Europe before returning to Kent, England, in January. She rented private accommodations for a while. Unfortunately, she was unable to find employment and her money ran out. She was offered emergency council accommodation — but only if she gave up her two dogs, as they were not welcome in the public-supplied housing. So now, home has become her 20-year-old Alfa Romeo auto in a 24-hour Asda car park, according to an article in the Inquisitr.
