    Vancouverite Daryl Mutz, a former teacher, passed away just over three years ago. In his will, he donated 275,000$ to the New Westminster Animal Shelter. Mutz, not having any kids of his own, decided the shelter to be a more than worthy cause

    According to CTV Vancouver, Mutz requested that the shelter use $115,000 for animal enrichment, 55,000$ go toward animals needing "excessive" veterinary care and the remaining $55,000 be used to help low-income pet owners with vet bills
