Oprah Winfrey's cocker spaniel, Sophie, has died of kidney failure. She was 13.
"Everyone here is really sad," a spokesperson for Harpo Productions told Celebrity Dog Watcher. "Sophie was truly part of the Harpo family as well as Oprah's."
Winfrey had talked about Sophie's illness in the December issue of "O" magazine, revealing she and her boyfriend Stedman Graham were "preparing for the inevitable."
The couple has another cocker spaniel named Solomon. Their golden retriever, Gracie, died less than a year ago, when she choked to death on a small ball last May.
