Heartbroken Oprah
Filed under: Oprah Winfrey
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!

YES! ADOPT FROM A SHELTER! IT'S THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO AND YOUR DOG WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT!
Me too - Lisa Ling does a great job whenever she's on the show
YES ONLY ADOPT THROUGH SHELTERS/RECUES! BREEDERS ARE ASSHOLES!!!!!!!
Rescue your animals, there are thousands of homeless, awesome pets in need.
FUCK THIS STUCK-UP BITCH!!!!
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm*
Um, tell oprah to have a child and she'll get over the damn dog!
i heart Oprah. Man her dogs have no luck.
I'll definitely watch. Losing a pet is heartbreaking. I have two Cocker Spaniels (I adopted both). I don't know what I'll do when I lose them, they're like my kids. I'm happy she is bringing these disgusting puppy mills to public attention!
GOOD 4 U OPRAH. ALL MY DOGS R FROM SHELTERS.
O, YA 2ND

AND I THOUGHT GAYLE DUMPED HER AFTER THE DEED TO THE $7 MILLION NEW YORK CRIB WAS PUT IN HER NAME!
Did we really need Oprah to tell us that puppy mills are a horrific thing and we should always adopted from shelters?!?!?
WHO WATCHES THIS CRAP????????
Um, am I the only one that thinks this is lame? Not about the puppy mills, just her dead dog.
THANK YOU OPRAH! I educate people all the time about this unfortunate situation. Nobody understands what a puppy mill is…and the problems that occur. I know a woman who rescued a 4 yr old breeding bitch who spent ALL FOUR YEARS of her life in a tiny cage constantly being bred and having litters. It is a terrible situation, and whenever a person walks into a pet store and purchases a dog they are fueling the puppy mill industry. You can find purebred dogs in shelters, papers and all! Educate yourselves, because I work at a pet supply boutique and people come in with new puppies that they have purchased from pet stores…and surprise! The majority of the dogs have serious ailments that cost their owners thousands of dollars in medical care.
It is sad that we can't save them all, but you can stop fueling this business. Think of a barn, lined from one side to the other with small cages…puppies sitting in the wire cages w/ no bedding or comfy spot to lie in…letting their feces and urine just fall through the cracks. No love, baths, kisses or hugs. I am telling the truth, and it's real. Google puppy mills. See where your Yorkie came from!
OK UR DOG DIED…GET OVER IT BETCH…WAT ABOUT DOING SHOW FOR MY AZZ WHO BROKE AND CAN HARDLY AFORD MY FUCKING BILLS…AND AM SURE THERE ARE OTHERS WHO WILL LOVE TO JOIN ME ON THAT SHOW…SHIT
GOD LET THE DOGS DIE FOR A REASON
Oh no, not good news for Perez. Star magazine is reporting that there is a beastiality video of Perez and Teddy. Charges have not been filed yet as they are still determing the age of Teddy, he may also get popped for sex with a minor.
I'd rather be one of her pooches than an African girl in her school getting smacked all the time!
SHES FUCKING OBAMA!!!
Kinda sad that it takes pop culture to get people informed.
she is out of her mind
Oprah is such a pathetic sell-out. She would make even her most personal family issues the subject of one of her stupid shows for cheap ratings. She's such a phoney.
I love dogs so much. My two were adopted by reputable breeders…I saw their home and I saw the parents, etc… even still…next time I will rescue a dog. There are too many out there who just want to be loved so much. It breaks my heart.
Seriously? It took her 50 years & Lisa Ling doing some investigating to figure out that you should rescue animals from shelters instead of going through breeders? Seriously? And people admire this woman? Get a fucking life.
By the way, I was on Oprah's show in 1993…. It was a wild experience! In and out of Chicago in 24 hours!
Then is it safe to assume you got Teddy (A designer breed) from a shelter???? Didn't think so…preach to someone else…
Pero Oprah es bollo o no es bollo?
I will def be tuned in to this show- and i NEVER watch O. Pet overpopulation is a serious epidemic in this country! There are hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats, sitting in kennels in Rescues and Shelters just waiting to be adopted, yet people still think they need to buy a purebred from a pet store! I just adopted my first dog, and i would take in more if i could but i just rent a small house. But i give you props perez for your coverage on this issue lately, even though you bought from a breeder…. check it out…dogsindanger.com or petfinder.com PEACE
Funny that Perez would show interest onthis topic…he has been duped into believing his beloved dog did not come from puppymill….he fell into the trap of purchasing a "hybrid" dog…bought from a pet store???? I just hope Oprah does a fair job at reporting on reputable hobby breeders that stress health testing and prodvcing quality dogs…in small quantity. BE SMART AND INVESTIGATE BREEDS AND REPUTABLE BREEDERS…remember, it is the irresponsible pet owners out there that are filling the shelters with unwanted dogs…
Re: FUCK OFF – You are a dumb ass. She just did a show this week with Suze Orman about the financial difficulties American's are facing now with the recession and answered viewers questions. Think before you speak!!
talk about licking someone's balls!!!! OMG PEREZ STOP SELLING OUT, WE ALL KNOW YOU WANT TO BE ON THE OPRAH'S SHOW, BUT FUCK!!!
My dog (a 6 year old rescued pit bull) got sick last March. Wrote to Oprah, since I knew she was a dog lover, asking for help to find a veterinarian that could possibly help with the $2,000+ neurological testing my dog needed. Never heard a word. My dog died on April 13th.
She didn't ADOPT her dogs from a breeder…..SHE BOUGHT THEM.
quit lying and trying to go the pr route.
Breeders should have to pay a puppy fee everytime one of thier dogs gives birth. The money should go into a fund for nonprofits that rescue dogs.
What ever happend to Oprah not every eating beef again after seeing the slaughter houses? Just last week Billy Joel's wife made her meatloaf on her show, which she sat there and ate. Oprah clearly doesn't take the humane treatment of animals very seriously, her word means nothing. Nice try though O.
