The five-year-old dog named Lulu was named the sole proprietor in business owner Bill Dorris’ will after his death. It reads,‘$5,000,000 will be transferred to a trust to be formed upon my death for the care of my border collie Lulu. This trust is to provide for all the needs of Lulu. The dog will remain in possession of Martha Burton.” As reported by Metro UK, Burton was a friend of Dorris’ who always cared for Lulu while he handled things for his business.

However, the will is currently in probate and it is unclear how much money Lulu will receive after taxes and bills are removed.
