Woman's dog given death sentence in will



An Indiana woman who couldn't live without her dog drew up a very controversial will.

When Connie Lay recently passed away, her attorney revealed her German Shepherd 'Bella' would be put down so her ashes could be mixed in with her owners.

The option isn't illegal --nor is it uncommon--because animals are considered property. When news of Bela's grim plans spread, volunteers rushed to adopt her.

But death wasn't the only option. The attorney for Lay said if enough money could be raised, Bella would be sent to Best Friends Animal Society in Utah - the largest no-kill animal sanctuary in the country.

Bela was scheduled to be put down on Tuesday, December 16 but because the estate is still trying to decide what to do, that option is being put on hold.

Bella is being held at PAWS of Dearborn County Humane Center until a decision is reached.

"I realized several years ago that I had stopped looking in my children's eyes," the HopeLab President and CEO said at a Huffington Post panel at Ad Week on Tuesday . "And it was shocking to me." Christen's "a-ha" moment was an alarming one, but it's more common than you might think -- and it points toward a larger, and often undiscussed, byproduct of excessive screen time. The decline of eye contact is well-documented , and as we spend more and more of our time staring at screens, there's less time left over to look into people's eyes -- including the eyes of the people we care about most. Between staring at computers during the work day and regularly gazing down at our phones, Americans spending more time with their eyes glued to their screens than ever before. According to recent estimates ,

Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday age 22 six months after she was found face down and unresponsive in the bath-tub of the Roswell, Georgia, home she shared with then boyfriend, Nick Gordon, 25. Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s untimely death. But according to TMZ, he has still written to Bobbi Kristina’s father and Pat Houston begging for permission to attend the funeral service. The email states: ‘I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. ‘Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there’. The chances of him being accepted by the family are, however, slim to none. The Houston family has slapped him with a $10million lawsuit alleging that he abused her and stole her money while she was in a medically induced coma. While Gordon has been a figure of controversy with Bobby Brown banning him first from his daughter’s hospital bedsi
