Dead Woman's Will Asks For Her Dog To Be Killed, Buried Along With Her

An Indiana woman who has died wants to be buried with her German shepherd.

But there's one problem: The dog is still alive. Conne Lay died last month, and in her will, she requested that her dog, Bella, be buried with her. The will stipulates that the dog must be put down, cremated, and buried with her or sent to an animal shelter in Utah.

The dog's fate is in the hands of Lay's friends, who face a difficult decision. No deadline has been set at this point.

Bella's story has gone viral, sparking the "Save Bella Campaign" on Twitter.

Here's what some people are saying:
