Oprah Winfrey's Cocker Spaniel Dies

"Everyone here is really sad," a source at her Harpo production company told Celebrity Dog Watcher. "Sophie was truly part of the Harpo family as well as Oprah's."

In the December issue of O, Winfrey wrote about Sophie's condition, saying that she and beau Stedman Graham were "preparing for the inevitable."

The two have another Cocker Spaniel, Solomon.

Less than a year ago, they lost their beloved Golden Retriever, Gracie, who chocked on a ball.

Gracie "did more living in two years than most dogs do in 12," Winfrey wrote of the dog's death last year. "This dog lived every moment as though it were her last.

"Her life was a gift to me," she added. "Her death, a greater one."
