Have you ever watched “Gunther’s Tens of millions,” the docuseries on Netflix in regards to the canine who inherited thousands and thousands when his proprietor, German Countess named Karlotta Leibenstein, died? It begins form of foolish (a canine who’s a millionaire, ha ha, so humorous and peculiar!) after which shortly devolves into… I do not even know what. At every flip the story will get more odd, a lot in order that I needed to cease and search the net to see if the entire thing was satire. Seems, it is not precisely satire, and it is not precisely true.  

Emily Burack at City and Nation lately wrote a terrific piece that recounts the true story. She explains:

Your complete story is a story created by Maurizio Mian, a scion of Istituto Gentili, an Italian pharmaceutical firm that was bought by Merck. “The canine’s position seems to be little greater than a joke that is carried on for many years,” the Related Press reported in 2021, “and there’s no proof of a German countess.” In 1995, Mian advised an Italian newspaper that the countess “was simply an invention to publicize the philosophy” of his basis.

And what’s this basis? What is the philosophy? You will have to observe the present to get the complete clarification, nevertheless it has one thing to do with the research of enjoyment and happiness. I am going to go away it at that.
