The Baton Rouge Advocate newspaper reported today that three Maryland dogs, named Buckshot, Katie, and Obujet, inherited $400,000 and a house in Hagerstown, MD, after the death of their owner last year. Their owner had adopted them when they were strays. They now live in their new home with their caretaker, Roy Grady.
It was reported that while the dogs may be unaware of their wealth, they are treated once a week to spaghetti dinner, with meatballs and garlic bread. Grady says, "They love it."
