The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has struck out in its quest for money from the estate of billionaire Leona Helmsley. Helmsley, who died in 2007 with an estimated worth of $8 billion, left the bulk of her estate to care for dogs including $12 million to her own dog Trouble. HSUS has been fighting ever since to get a piece of the pie- and last week a court denied a motion from HSUS and other national animal rights groups for part of the money.
