On March 10, 2003, Mrs. Orie, who lives in Kendall, north-central England, entrusted a lawyer to announce a shocking news: Lily, her pet dog who has been with her for many years, will inherit her inheritance of 800,000 pounds; when she dies In the future, whoever obtains Lily's adoption rights and keeps her until the end of her life will inherit all of Lily's inheritance. At this time, Mrs. Aude was already terminally ill, so, around the adoption of Lily, known as the "richest dog in the UK", a funny and ugly farce was staged in this small town...
Find an owner for the dog
Orie When his wife was 56 years old, her husband died of illness. She inherited a considerable amount of inheritance and lived in seclusion from then on. With no children, she felt very lonely as she got older. One day, Mrs. Orie was out for a walk and came across a stray dog. She brought it home and gave it a cute name: Lily. Lily's intelligent and endearing nature brought laughter back to Mrs. Orie's face. Lily always followed Mrs. Orie's side with vigour, like a loyal guard. Mrs. Orie also treated Lily as her own child, bought her delicious food, sent her for pet grooming, and took her to the veterinary hospital for regular check-ups. Lily and Mrs. Orie were inseparable and depended on each other, spent a few years of happy time together, and established a deep relationship.
At the beginning of 2003, Mrs. Orie felt unwell, she went to the hospital for a medical examination. The result was a big surprise. The doctor told her that she had liver cancer and it had reached the advanced stage. The doctor's words seemed like a bolt from the blue. She didn't think too much about herself, but worried about Lily's future life. After a night of deliberation, she decided to leave all her £800,000 property to Lily. The next day, she called a lawyer and made a will: who would adopt Lily, and could guarantee that Lily would live a happy and healthy life, and that the adopter could inherit the estate only after Lily died of natural causes.
The always obscure Mrs. Orie was a rich woman with £800,000, and she left so much money for a dog, which surprised everyone who knew her. The matter quickly spread, and many people came to the door to ask for Lily's adoption. Mrs. Orie's house became lively for a while.
Among the people who came to invite Lily, some claimed to be experts in dog raising, familiar with the habits of dogs, and vowed to treat Lily well for the rest of their lives; some tried to hug Lily as soon as they came in to show their deep love; some called themselves It is a professional veterinarian who guarantees Lily's health and longevity... There is even a young man in his 20s who swears himself to be Mr. Orie's illegitimate child, and shows his birth certificate: the father column is indeed Jeff. Ori. But she couldn't stand a few cross-examinations from Mrs. Orie, and she quickly revealed her fault and fled.
For several days, Mrs. Orie's family was crowded, and although there was an endless stream of people, Mrs. Orie could not find a suitable candidate. She could see that these people didn't come to adopt Lily at all, they all came for the inheritance of 800,000 pounds. Mrs. Orie was so sad that she couldn't help crying loudly every night with Lily in her arms.
Lucky for
adoption , John was one of those who tried to get the inheritance. He runs a small factory but struggles in a tough market. Although he struggled for many years, the factory has not improved much, only enough to support the family's life, he always hopes to get rich overnight. When he learned the story of Mrs. Orie and the dog, John's heart was moved. It was like a pie that fell from the sky. He thought that if he had this money, the factory could expand, he could buy a villa, buy a luxury car...John couldn't help but start to look forward to a bright future.
However, back to reality, John couldn't help worrying: the people who asked Mrs. Orie to adopt Lily must be eager to adopt Lily, how can he get the right to adopt it? For several days, he went downstairs to Mrs. Orie's house to inquire about the situation.
Mrs. Orie had a deep friendship with the dog, and she would never entrust it lightly to anyone. John warned himself that he must impress Mrs. Orie with sincerity, and must not be too eager. He even bought a lot of books about dogs and made up for a week of dog raising lessons. When everything was ready, John knocked on Mrs. Orie's door one evening. It is said that people are easily moved at dusk, especially women. He bought a large bouquet of red roses for Mrs. Orie, and Mrs. Orie said with emotion: No one has given her roses since her husband died. Saying that, I couldn't help shedding tears of sadness. John said that since he heard the story of Mrs. Orie and the dog, he was very moved, so he came to see her and the lovely Lily. John asked Mrs. Orie's life with concern, and complimented Lily, who was standing by and staring at him. For some time all the people who came to Mrs. Orie's house gushed about how much they knew dogs and how good they would be with Lily, but John never said anything about adoption. Before leaving, Mrs. Orie specially asked him to leave his contact information.
John was very excited when the first battle was won. But he knew that this effort alone was not enough. So he started to implement his next plan. In addition to asking the florist to send Mrs. Orie a bouquet of flowers every day, he began to look around for a suitable house. He wanted to build a gorgeous kennel to support the "Britain's richest dog" in the future. In the wealthy villa area, he finally found the house he wanted, but the seller bid 100,000 pounds without any hesitation. All the savings he has worked so hard to accumulate over the years is not enough! But thinking of the tempting £800,000, he made up his mind immediately. When he got home, he persuaded his wife to take out all his savings and borrowed £20,000 against the factory as collateral, and the deal went smoothly. He also worked hard to find someone to design the villa into a kennel. A month later, the luxurious kennel was built: it has a bedroom, a pantry, a shower room, a medical room, etc., and the facilities are extremely complete.
After the kennel was built, John came to Mrs. Orie's again. Of course he knew that Mrs. Orie had not found a suitable adopter, and he could see that Mrs. Orie's health was getting worse. After some concern and inquiries, Mrs. Orie reluctantly said what was in her heart: "I have always treated Lily as my own child, and I want to find someone who treats Lily with sincerity. Who knows that everyone only looks at my inheritance. Alas! Seeing that the time was right, John said sincerely: "Mrs. Orie, if you are at ease, let me take Lily away, and I will treat her as well as you. As for the inheritance, I will not take a penny." John's words obviously touched Austria. Mrs. Lee, but Mrs. Orie still had doubts. John wasted no time in inviting Mrs. Orie to his house, and in order to learn more about John, Mrs. Orie nodded in agreement.
On the afternoon of the third day, John took Mrs. Orie home by car. When Mrs. Orie saw a big happy and warm family, her heart was much more at ease. Then John took Mrs. Orie to see his well-designed kennel, and Mrs. Orie was full of excitement. Lily, who went with her, also jumped up and down in the kennel happily, and it seemed that she was also quite satisfied. Someone who can build such a luxurious residence for a dog must be a dog lover, and he will be well taken care of by entrusting Lily to John.
Mrs. Orie was so excited that the heart disease she had been suffering for for many days was finally relieved. She immediately called a lawyer and assigned the dog's adoption rights to John.
Two months later, Mrs. Orie passed away peacefully. According to his will, John obtained Lily's adoption rights and officially became Lily's new owner. Since
the adoption of Lily, John has devoted himself to the rich dog who was famous overnight.
He put Lily in the kennel, bought her good dog food and daily necessities, bathed her every day, and even slept with Lily. And he himself frugal, wear the cheapest clothes, eat the cheapest fast food.
He also stipulated that no one, including his family, should be near the kennel except him. He treated Lily like a treasure, lest there be any damage. Excessive worry made him sleepless. He often had nightmares, dreaming that Lily was taken away, or suddenly fell ill, and then 800,000 pounds disappeared.
For Lily's health and safety, he disregarded the dissuasion of his family, borrowed money everywhere, hired an animal expert with a high salary, and took care of Lily's daily life around the clock. One day Lily was upset or fell ill, he would go into a rage and scold the nursing staff, so the staff here changed one after another. In the end, the honest and honest Jim became Lily's full-time caregiver. He came from the Animal Protection Association and was kind-hearted. He is still alone and has a good understanding of the habits of dogs. Jim went out for a walk with Lily every day, fed him, bathed him, groomed him, trimmed his nails, played with him, and got along very well with Lily, much to the satisfaction of John.
Under Jim's careful care, Lily grew stronger and more beautiful, and every day, the cost of Lily's food and care alone was as high as 50 pounds. John gradually built up high debts. Because he was not in business, the factory could not make ends meet, and creditors came to the door one after another, and John was devastated. He patiently explained that once Lily died, he would receive £800,000 of property and all debts would be repaid. The creditors promised him a one-year grace period to meet in court if he did not repay his debts by then.
A year later, but Lily is still strong and active, and the creditors come to the door again, and John has to hide everywhere. Creditors who could not find John took anger at John's wife and children, threatening to sell their house. The wife called in an emergency, but John said, "Let's do what they want. With Lily here, what should I be afraid of?" The unbearable wife finally broke out. She told John that if it continued like this, she would file for a divorce.
The creditors who could not get the promise pressed closely, and finally sued to the court. Soon the court made a judgment that John was required to pay off the debt within 6 months, otherwise he would be sentenced to 2 years in prison. If this is the case, John will also be forced to transfer Lily's adoption rights, and all his efforts will be wasted.
what to do? John was so worried that he didn't want to eat or drink. Only by inheriting the inheritance as soon as possible can we solve all the predicaments in front of us. However, Mrs. Orie's will clearly stipulated that she could inherit the property only after Lily died of natural causes. According to the current situation, Lily can live at least six or seven years.
John was frowning. After his friend Dr. Jimmy knew his distress, he mysteriously put forward a coup: "I have an idea to let you get this property as soon as possible." John seemed to have encountered a life-saving straw. But Jimmy said again: "After it's done, you must give me 20% of the benefits." Jimmy told his idea, and John nodded repeatedly.
The agency's dream was broken.
John took Dr. Jimmy to the kennel. He told Jim, the nurse, that there was an epidemic of infectious disease recently, and he was worried that Lily would contract it, so he asked Dr. Jimmy to vaccinate him.
After four weeks of injections, Jim noticed that Lily was not as active and had a poor appetite. Dr. Jimmy said it was normal, but Jimmy had doubts about the injection. Careful Jim quietly left a syringe that Dr. Jimmy forgot to take away. Taking advantage of the opportunity to go out to buy dog food, he took it to the pet hospital for testing. The conclusion issued by the hospital surprised him. The doctor told him that if the drug is injected for a long time, it will cause the trace elements in animals to exceed the standard, which will lead to a surge in the secretion of adrenalin, damage the coronary arteries, and cause poor blood flow and cardiovascular tension. In severe cases, it can induce heart disease and even lead to sudden death.
It turned out that the so-called vaccination was just a cover. John wanted to slowly kill Lily. After getting along for a long time, Jim and Lily were inseparable, thinking that John was so cruel, he couldn't help feeling sad. He wandered the streets for a long time and decided to save Lily.
Dr. Jimmy continued to vaccinate Lily, although Jim questioned John many times, but to no avail. The dog is getting weaker day by day, its hair is dry and yellow, its eyes are dull, and it is panting for shortness of breath after a little strenuous exercise.
Two months later, when Dr Jimmy gave the dog an EKG, he was "surprised" to tell John that Lily had the unfortunate heart attack. Since then, Dr. Jimmy has come more frequently, injecting the dogs with various drugs. This lively and lovely dog in the past has gradually become shambling.
Dr. Jimmy suggested that John take Lily to do some outdoor exercise. On the afternoon of June 15, 2004, John ran up a slope with the dog. When he came back, the exhausted dog fell to the ground and could not get up again. John immediately took the dog to the hospital with tears in his eyes, but it was still dead.
The forensic and veterinary autopsy reports confirmed that the sudden death of the dog was a normal death due to a heart attack caused by strenuous exercise. John secretly let out a long sigh of relief.
A week later, John hoped to go to the law firm to handle the inheritance formalities. The lawyer who was in charge of the inheritance case was Dick, who received John warmly. In accordance with the regulations, John produced evidence such as his identity certificate, adopter certificate, copy of will, autopsy report and so on. After carefully checking all the supporting materials, Dick's lawyer said to John: "Congratulations, Mr. John, you are about to become the legal heir of 800,000 pounds." John was immediately excited, and his excitement was beyond words.
Two days later, John was invited to visit Dick's lawyer, ready to formally sign the relevant documents. However, this time, Dick's lawyer was not as enthusiastic as last time, but said to John with a solemn expression: "I'm sorry, Mr. John, you may not be able to inherit this property." "Why?" John exclaimed: "I am very sorry. Ai Lily, I have lived up to Mrs. Orie's trust, Lily's life has come to an end, and I deserve this inheritance!" Dick's lawyer smiled and said, "However, Lily is still alive and healthy, and the city animal The Conservation Society has charged you with indirect murder of animals." "What? This, this is not true..." John muttered to himself, slumped to the ground.
It turned out that Jim rescued Lily. He bought a sick dog with a breed and appearance similar to Lily's from the veterinary hospital, and quietly adjusted the bag, but John and Jimmy, who were greedy for profit, didn't even notice it.
At the end of June 2004, after a series of legal procedures, Jim officially adopted Lily. As for the property that Mrs. Orie left to Lily, Jim suggested that it be donated to the Animal Protection Society. John's organization was exhausted, and finally ended up with a tragic ending. He not only had to repay the huge debt owed to support Lily, but also was punished by the law for the crime of murdering animals.
