Oprah show investigates puppy mills
On Friday April 4, special correspondent Lisa Ling will appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show with an investigative report on puppy mills. Winfrey says the show is “for anybody anywhere who loves a dog, has ever loved a dog, or just cares about their basic right to humane treatment.”
Oprah is dedicating the show to her late Cocker Spaniel Sophie, who died last month due to kidney failure. Oprah’s 2-year-old Golden Retriever Gracie died last July when she choked on a ball she was playing with, so it has been a rough several months for Oprah and her pets.
Although Oprah hasn’t bought any of her dogs from a puppy mill, but after seeing the show has decided to get any future dogs from animal shelters.
