Weiner Dog Named Winnie the Pooh Has $100,000 to His Name, Is Causing a Raucous

Winnie the Pooh the Dachshund is a wealthy trust-fund dog. He has $100,000 to his name. But in an unjust turn of events, Pooh allegedly hasn't been given the money that was given to him by his owner when she passed away in 2010, the New York Daily News reported.

When Patricia Bowers died, she left her estate to her alma mater Cornell University and Brooklyn College, where she taught, as well as to some museums. She also gave $100,000 to her dog, Pooh, for his food and amenities for the rest of his life. She entrusted her friend, Virginia Hanlon, with Pooh until he dies.

Unfortunately, Hanlon filed a complaint in court this week saying she was never given that money to care for Pooh by attorney Harriet Harkavy, who handled Bowers' estate. Harkavy responded by saying she did give checks, they were just never cashed. The attorney then proposed to give $30,000 to Hanlon and the rest to an animal hospital. But Hanlon said Pooh will need at least $6,000 each year for the estimated seven years remaining in his life.

Doesn't seem so doggone hard, right? It's the dog's trust fund, don't Pooh-Pooh it!
