Oprah’s First Dog, Sophie, Dies

Oprah, Stedman and Sophie

A spokeswoman for Oprah Winfrey confirmed Wednesday that the TV titan’s venerable cocker spaniel, Sophie — arguably first among equals of Oprah’s pet “children” — had passed away on Monday.

Another source at Harpo added, “everyone here is really sad…Sophie was truly part of the Harpo family — as well as Oprah’s.”

Sophie had been experiencing kidney failure recently and even though Sophie was well into her “old age” at 13 which was most likely a contributing factor, we’re sure this comes as a hard blow especially with Oprah’s dog, Gracie passing away last year.

RIP Sophie!
