Rich Canines Still Lead Dog's Life
In Deerfield Beach Florida 81 dogs inherited 14.5 million from Eleanor Ritchey after a 1968 will. A Broward County Court in 1972 upheld the bequests to the dogs and small amounts to a longtime employee and his son. The estate valued at about 18 million mainly in Quaker State stock funds the 180 acre ranch where the dogs live under three fulltime workers. The dogs are housed in 4 by 10 foot runs with limited outings and the money will go to Auburn University for veterinary research after the last dog dies or 20 years.
