Lauren Bacall, one of the last great actresses of cinema's golden era, has left $10000 (R107 000) for her dog, Sophie.
Bacal died this month in New York. She was 89.
Her estate documents show she left $26.6-million, split between her three children, plus a special bequest to her beloved papillon dog.
That money will go to her youngest son, Sam Robards, 53, to ensure that Sophie continues to live in the manner to which she is accustomed.
The pair were inseparable. Bacall even took Sophie to the set of Birth, which she starred in 10 years ago.
Her will also includes $15000 for Isla Hernandez, her maid.
Bacall was known as a dog lover throughout her life.
"I was always a dog yearner. I didn't have a dog growing up in the city with a working mother," she told the actress Glenn Close in an interview.
