In an upcoming mini-series titled Life is Better With Dogs, Oprah Winfrey reflects on the significant role dogs have played in her life. Speaking to People, the 72-year-old former talk show host revealed that her love for dogs began in her teenage years, despite her father's disapproval of pets in their home. After moving out, she welcomed her first dog, an Afghan hound named Kashmir, and has since shared her life with 21 dogs over the past five decades. Oprah credits her canine companions with teaching her the importance of living in the moment and accepting the aging process. She expressed that her current pet, Sadie, a 17-year-old cocker spaniel, has been particularly influential, helping her embrace life's challenges. Oprah stated, “I've learned even when you don't move as well and things go wrong, life is still good.” Alongside her love for dogs, Oprah has also secured a multiyear deal with Amazon to distribute her book club and podcast, further expanding her media presence.
