Ratan Tata pictured with his Dog, Tito

Indian billionaire and industrialist, Ratan Tata, left behind a large chunk of wealth in his £91million fortune to his beloveth Dog, Tito (German Sherperd).

Reportedly, the late business tycoon in his will specified that 'unlimited care' should be made readily available to his dog who was by his side when he died.

Mr Tata, who was globally recognized and credited for transforming the 'Tata Group', died earlier this month at the age of 86years.

Accordingly, Mr Tata also willed a large portion of his wealth to his General Assistant, Konar Subbiah, and his Cook, Rajan Shaw, who both will contunue to care for his Dog. In contrary to popular opinion, his siblings will only inherit part of his estate.

With this recent development, our dear Tito might be the richest animal on this planet. Your view on this! Air in the comment section.

The internet presence has gone agog following the announcement of Malik Obama, half-brother of former US president Barack Obama, decision to support Donald Trump for president.

This was disclosed on his Twitter page. This also follows alleged controversies amidst the strained relationship between him and his brother, Barack Obama. 

Malik Obama, a Kenyan-American businessman, has over time made headlines for his unexpected political endorsements and personal controversies as opposed to his half-brother. 

Malik's bond with Barack has worsened over years as speculated by reports. Malik had once criticized the former president for not supporting a foundation he established in their father's name, this coupled with his numerous dissatisfaction over the leadership style of Barack Obama during his tenure.

Malik Obama who serves as the lead ambassador for Puppet, a software configuration management tool, has been a supporter of Trump since 2016. He recently praised Trump's straightforwardness and his campaign slogan "Make America great again". 

Malik's disappointment with his half-brother involvement that led to Muammar Gaddafi's death has further constrained the brothers' relationship.
