I reported last week that Leona Helmsley's dog supposedly bit an employee of hers. Apparently he's also channeling her deceased husband. From the NY Daily News:
Leona Helmsley's dog Trouble is a fluffy Maltese small enough to fit into her purse. But when Trouble barks, Leona listens.That's because the 84-year-old hotel queen is said to believe that her late husband, real-estate tycoon Harry Helmsley, communicates to her through the pooch.
Someone who recently dined with Leona and her canine companion came away convinced that she sees Trouble as a psychic transmitter.
"She didn't use the term 'channeling,'" says the source. "But she gave me the clear impression that Harry was speaking through the dog."
What has Harry supposedly told her?
Well, for one thing, he doesn't like the public mausoleum that's been built next to his private crypt at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx.
Harry is said to have told Trouble to tell Leona that the new edifice spoiled his view. Last July, Leona filed a $150 million suit against the cemetery, alleging she was led to believe that the field next to the Helmsley crypt would remain empty.
