Lulu's owner, 83-year-old Bill Dorris, was Burton's friend and an unmarried, successful businessman. He died late last year and left $5 million for the care of his beloved pet. "I don't really know what to think about it to tell you the truth. He just really loved the dog," Burton said.

The will specifies: "This trust is to provide for all the needs of Lulu. The dog will remain in possession of Martha Burton."

According to WTVF, the estate is currently in probate and it's not yet clear how much it's worth. The will does state, however, that Burton will simply be reimbursed for reasonable monthly expenses to care for Lulu.


It's not clear what will happen to any money left in the trust when 8-year-old Lulu someday passes away.

Lulu's late owner Dorris had a piece of property along Interstate 65 that is the site of a controversial statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest. Forrest was a Confederate general and an early leader of the Ku Klux Klan.

3. He went through all that effort to leave 5 mil

to a dog. Although its great that Lulu will be taken care of, some of that money could have gone to a charity. Curious how Martha feels about it?

5. Here's that hideous status before it was decorated with pink paint...

... it definitely needed something. The pink paint helps, but it still needs more. Perhaps a wrecking ball, or a controlled explosion?

To me it always looked like someone on horseback wearing the oversized Burger King head.
