LONDON — Fashion designer Alexander McQueen, who committed suicide in February last year, left £50,000 of his £16 million fortune to his beloved pet dogs, details of his will released Tuesday showed.

McQueen, the former enfant terrible of the fashion world who went on to find huge success with his provocative designs, left the equivalent of $82,000 or 56,500 euros to ensure his dogs were pampered after he was gone.

The will, seen by AFP and originally released after a request from Britain’s Press Association news agency, said £50,000 was being left “for the upkeep and maintenance of my dog or dogs so long as my dog or dogs shall live.”

He left behind three dogs called Minter, Juice and Callum, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported.

Four charities — HIV and sexual health charity The Terence Higgins Trust, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, the London Buddhist Centre and animal welfare charity Blue Cross — each received £100,000 [~$165,000 USD].

Blind Dog Rescue Alliance Helps Dogs In Need

Jul. 26, 2011

funny dog pictures - Blind Dog Rescue Alliance

The [Blind Dog Rescue Alliance] was formed by [Karen] Belfi in 2009 and has since grown to include 150 volunteers in the United States, a few in Canada, and even one in New Zealand, said Belfi, 38, who is the president.

“I am shocked at how big we got so fast,” she said. “We thought we’d rescue a handful of dogs a year. So far we have saved over 160.”

The seed for the blind-dog rescues was planted in 1999 when Belfi and the man who is now her husband, Eric Belfi, 41, adopted a shepherd-collie mix that had been born without eyes.

They named him . . . Ray Charles.

Karen Belfi became active in Yahoo groups related to blind dogs. It was on Yahoo that she met Colleen Little, who is now the alliance’s vice president.

The support group for blind dogs – there also is one devoted to rescues – has grown from 300 members to more than 5,000.

“There are so many dogs that need help,” said Little, 62, who lives in the community of Musquodoboit Harbour, near Halifax, Nova Scotia. “They’re fantastic dogs who basically aren’t given a chance, and we give them a chance.”
