I did not agree with giving a dog more money than a family member receives in a person's will. I agree people have the right to give their money to whoever they choose when they die, because we have different values and cultures. Everybody's definition of what the word family means is different. My immediate family members and pets are a part of my family. My family is very close. We get into disagreements just like every other family, but we always forgive each other and get over it. In my personal opinion, I find it very disrespectful to give my animals more money than my family members would receive in my will. I do believe in leaving money in your will to make sure the animals are taken care of properly. I guess my family circumstances are different, and I am luck to belong to a close-knit family.
