Oprah Cries
Earlier this week, it was announced that Oprah would dedicate today's show to her late cocker spaniel Sophie, who died last month of kidney failure at the age of 13. Oprah's show today centered on puppy mills, but it opened with a tribute to Sophie.

Oprah, who watched the montage her staff put together for the first time on air, was brought to tears and needed to cut to commercial so she could collect herself.

Watch:

Oprah's dog died last month, and today's show was dedicated to the 13-year old cocker spaniel, Sophie. Watch Oprah cry after seeing the montage her staff put together.

Is there a Law of Doggie Attraction? Did the dog create her own dis--ease by thinking negative doggie thoughts, thus victimizing our Oprah? Bad dog!

My own negative thoughts seem to be attracting dullards with no sense of irony, sarcasm or humor. Pray with me, Oprah.

These gay rumours only started when Oprah lost weight and played the therapist on Ellen's controversial coming out show in the 1990s. For the first 10 years of her national career no one ever dreamed Oprah could be gay. There were rumours about her boyfriend but never ever about her. According to a Yale study, Oprah and Donahue are really the ones who single-handedly made gays mainstream. For years Donahue was the only one who put gays on TV, then when Oprah came along, she pushed the envelope a lot further and attracted record high ratings and money and her success turned Donahue's format into a thriving industry giving rise to Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones & Springer. Young people grew up on these shows and are used to gay people as a result.

You don't know what kind of person I am. I have one cat who lives at home, one stray cat I care for and one dog who lives in the backyard. If one of them died I would be heartbroken and I would deal with their deaths in the privacy of my own heart and not use their deaths for monetary gain and treat the affair as I were the only person who'd ever lost a pet. Oprah is the problem, not the dead pet. She is using her dead pet as she uses everything that ever happens to her; for her own personal gain. So there!

You obviously didn't see the show. I have my doubts that even if you had that you would even then have any compassion for the many, many millions of animals which are so abused by people. There are two kinds of people in the world, really: those who are capable of compassion for life and those who are not. Everything about your comment indicates that you are not.

Is this the same dog that bought that condo in Manhattan? Not bad for a dead mutt.

I would rather be friends with a dog/dogs than with most human beings.
Now that ought to really p### you people off who have never been able to cultivate a relationship with someone who loves you unconditionally.

Dogs run the world anyway. Think about it. At this point the US is still the most powerful nation in history. Dogs rule the American people, but most people don't realize it. I work in a vet's office and I see every day how much power dogs have over their people. If we'd just admit that dogs run things and do everything to make sure dogs are happy and healthy, we'd have no more war, no more conflict, no more hate. And this is one time when I think Oprah is being sincere. It's hard to lose the one who runs your life - leaves a big empty space.

Oprah does a lot of good calling attention to various causes, like puppy mills. Sorry her doggie died.

However, Oprah is the billionaire CEO of a huge company and as such should NOT be backing politicians. It may even be illegal under McCain-Feingold, the campaign finance bill. If the CEO of General Motors strutted around with and donated valuable media time to a candidate, he'd probably be hauled away in handcuffs for so blatantly stepping over the line.

I'm not sure if that's correct. Harpo Productions is a privately held company and, as such, is not held to the same rules as a publicly held corporation. As a citizen of the United States, I believe she has the right to support any candidate she pleases. Someone please let me know if that's changed.

He obviously doesn't have a problem with it...Sophie was there before he was..actually he may have given her Sophie...he gave a puppy

Where is Oprah "donating valuable media time to a candidate?" We misrepresent, mis-state, mis-attribute so glibly nowadays. Is this just intellectual laziness or something darker and more sinister? On the other hand, better you wouldn't give too hoots if the candidate she was supporting happened to be the one you support. Oprah has not had Obama on her program since she endorsed him. She has not even mentioned his name on her program

General motors is a publicly owned company....Oprah owns Harpo outright and that's why she is a billionaire. Harpo Production produces her show and sells it to the King corp.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BACKING AND SUPPORTING. OPRAH IS SUPPORTING OBAMA JUST LIKE CHUCK NORRIS SUPPORTED RON PAUL. YOU WILL ALSO NOTE THAT THOUSANDS OF CEO'S AND CFO'S SUPPORT THE REPUKLICANT CANDIDATES OR IN THEIR CASE BUY REPUKLICANT SUPPORT IN CONGRESS TO ENABLE THEM TO CONTINUE GOUGING THE UNIMFORMED AND IGNORANT PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

I didn't catch the whole show, just the part where they were putting down like 10 innocent dogs. A real tear-jerker. I'm glad Oprah did a show on this. It showed the irony of all these puppy mills on one side and then all the killing in the shelters on the other side. good show, O

You are pathetic! Apparently you have never known the best relationship possible. Perhaps because you do not deserve the experience.
