Taylor's Note: $10,000 Gift for Dog's Cancer Care
24 Sep
Summary
- Elizabeth Taylor gifted $10,000 for a dog's cancer treatment.
- Taylor sent a heartfelt note expressing care for the dog and owner.
- The star acted without being asked, offering support as a friend.
Elizabeth Taylor's profound generosity and supportive spirit are remembered through a touching anecdote shared by her attorney, Barbara Berkowitz. Taylor, who was a friend and co-trustee of Taylor's estate, recalled an instance in 2010 when her Golden Retriever, Chase, was diagnosed with cancer.
Discovering Chase's illness, Taylor anonymously sent a $10,000 check to Berkowitz's office to cover the dog's medical expenses. Taylor also included a heartfelt note, which Berkowitz still carries. In it, Taylor emphasized the importance of beloved pets and expressed her care for Berkowitz and Chase.
Berkowitz described calling Taylor in tears to express her gratitude, to which Taylor responded that her role was to ensure Chase's comfort, and she was happy to help. This unsolicited act of kindness underscored Taylor's deep empathy and willingness to support those close to her, not just as a businesswoman or attorney but as a caring friend.
