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!
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how important Sophie was to you- how important all your dogs are to you. She is so sweet and lovable. As a dog lover I understand that animals are a part of the family and there is much, much grief following the loss of a pet. You are in my prayers.

So sorry to hear about Sophie’s passing. I lost one of my friends this weekend-like Sophie, Dottie was first amongst equals. Tonight Oprah was speaking about how she could still feel her (Sophies) presence on the New Earth Webcast. I feel the same way about Dottie. Run Free Sophie, Run Free Dottie.
