Heartbroken Oprah

Oprah Winfrey plans to dedicate Friday's episode of her daytime TV talker to her beloved Cocker Spaniel, Sophie, who died last month from kidney failure.


That's some serious display of love and devotion. We feel ya, O!


The episode will be investigating abuses at puppy mills. Lisa Ling, the show's special correspondent, called the investigation of these mills "horrific" and "haunting."


The Opes says the show is "for anybody anywhere who loves a dog, has ever loved a dog, or just cares about their basic right to humane treatment."


All of Oprah's dogs were adopted through credible breeders but after seeing Ling's report the daytime chat legend says in the future she would look to adopt from an animal shelter.


"I would never, ever adopt another pet now without going to a shelter to do it. I am a changed woman after seeing this show," she says.


Let's all tune in and get better informed!
