“Sophie gave me 13 years of unconditional love. She was a true love in my life,” Winfrey says on the broadcast scheduled to air Friday. (Advance remarks from the show were released Tuesday by Harpo Productions.)
The show features special correspondent Lisa Ling investigating puppy mills, which Ling calls “horrific” and “haunting.”
Winfrey 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.”
While Sophie was not a product of a puppy mill, and Winfrey’s three current dogs were adopted from breeders, Winfrey 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.

she died while we were living in a rental home.
We began building us a new home and I asked the
realtor would it be ok to move her little body to our new home. He was so touched by my love for my dog. He said ok and she now rests in peace under a mighty oak tree in our back yard.
We now have a buff blonde cocker spaniel; she will be seven May 20. Her name is C.J. I named her after Celion and a dear friend's dog, Jasmine resulting in C.J. I admire Celion so much. She is a gift from God to all mankind.
We learned recently that our precious C.J. has kidney disease. She is the love of my life and I just can't imagine not having her. I am so afraid to loose her. I don't know how to prepare myself but each day I enjoy her to the fullest.
Again, I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you in this time of loss.
God has truly blessed you and I know in my heart that when He created the animals for our enjoyment on earth that we will enjoy them in that glorious place Heaven. I know Sofie is with Princess enjoying the peacefulness in a wonderful place. We will see them again.
I love you Oprah.
