I have to answer this case. Because it was retyped from horrible handwriting it might look strange). I was thinking about it and here are key points of my answer:
1. D.D. might be reliable for teasing dog (tort?)
2. Tess words about giving anything she owns did not form a contract because she did not have intent (?)
3.Wessmeller formed implied-in-fact contract with Tess(?)
4.Martha dos not have legal liabilities because she revoked her offer ( too late? because dozen volunteers already started to perform).
5. Johnny entitled to reward based on the contract with Tess
6. 12 people responsible for (accidental?) killing of Johnny. ( Criminal law, but also tort) Relatives of Johnny can sue 12 people for killing Johnny ( as a part of tort, not criminal law ( state/fed responsibility).
7. Because Johnny is dead, Tess does not have to pay reward to him ( what about third party beneficiaries? what if Johnny had a will saying "if I ever save a dog and get a reward and die, my favorite cat is entitled to receive this reward." ?
8. Sprinter is responsible for killing dog(?)
9. Bus driver is responsible for killing sprinter and dog (?)
10. Did Johnny or sprinter save the dog from the water? Johnny got the dog only to the shore...Sprinter got it to the grounds and accidentally kill it (?)

Tess True heart a native new Yorker and D.D Magee of Alaska, together with Tess’s puppy, Beau. They all arrived at the observatory platform above the falls they, together with a wedding party arrived there ahead of the ceremony on their way to the site of the honeymoon suite and reception ballroom. As Tess, D.D and Beau looked over the railing of the platform, D.D pulled a favorite dog biscuit from his pocket and after showing it to Beau he threw it over the railing to the troubled waters below. With a sudden leap Beau left the arms of Tess and followed the biscuit over the railing. Panic stricken, Tess immediately screamed for some one to save her dog. Saying, “I’ll give everything I own to someone who saves my dog”. Johnny Wessmeller, heard her cries for help and dived over the side in an attempt to save the dog. Martha Stewart, a member of the wedding party saw and heard the proceedings and exclaimed “I’ll pay a million dollars to the person who successfully returns Beau to Tess’s loving arms. Everyone within hearing range exclaimed, “Really”? Martha replied, “Yes, I’m rich and can afford it.” Then she whispered to her companion “besides, I think I can deduct it from my fine and community service obligation”
Immediately a dozen volunteers dived from the platform to the waiting troubled waters. Martha’s attorney worked his way to her side and whispered in her ear, “you’re mistaken, there won’t be a reduction to the courts sentencing, she then exclaimed “I’ve changed my mind there is no reward”.
Johnny W, having had a head starts and because of his skill reaches the dog first and pushes it ashore where he gives it mouth to mouth resuscitation, reviving Beau. But before he can place himself on shore he is pushed under the water by the dozen people and drowns.
Next one of the dozen emerges from the crowd grabs the dog and sprints up he hill, though the parking lot, where he and the dog are both killed by a tour bus driver.
The blank of both the sprinter and Johnny claim the rewards. What are the issue/s facing Tess, D.D., Martha and the blank and what the possible and probable results are
