Oprah gets a new dog
After examining the problems of puppy mills on her show last spring, Oprah Winfrey promised that her next dog would come from a shelter.
She made good on the vow over the weekend, the Chicago Tribune reports, when she visited the PAWS Chicago facility on Clybourn Avenue and took home a female cocker spaniel puppy.
Winfrey stopped by Saturday to look at available dogs and was drawn to the litter of cocker spaniels –the same breed as Sophie, (shown here) her 13-year-old pet who died last year of kidney failure.
Winfrey returned Sunday with Steadman Graham, and they adopted the golden-colored cocker.
