Oprah Winfrey’s dog Sophie passed away last month and last week Oprah dedicated an episode of her popular television show to the dog. Oprah had Sophie for 13 years and credits the dog for helping her be a kinder, gentler person.

Oprah’s staff put together a tribute which caused Oprah to get emotional. I admit, I got misty-eyed too. Did you see the episode?

Oprah Winfrey has lost her 12-year old dog Sophie this weekend after a year-long battle with kidney disease. Last May she lost another dog, Gracie, after she choked to death on a ball.

This is so sad; I can’t imagine losing two pets like that within such a short amount of time.
