Late bath tycoon Bill Dorris left $5 million from his estate – around €4.2 million or £3.6 million – to his beloved dog Lulu.

Lulu will continue to be cared for by Mr Dorris’s friend Martha Burton, with upkeep paid out of a trust, NewsChannel 5 reports.

Ms Burton said: “I don’t really know what to think about it to tell you the truth. He just really loved the dog.”
