She was a true love in my life," Winfrey says on the broadcast scheduled to air Friday. (Advance remarks from the show were released Tuesday by Harpo Productions.)<BR/><BR/>The show features special correspondent Lisa Ling investigating puppy mills, which Ling calls "horrific" and "haunting."<BR/><BR/>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."<BR/><BR/>While Sophie was not a product of a puppy mill, and Winfrey's three current dogs were adopted from breeders, Winfrey says in the future she would look to adopt from an animal shelter.<BR/><BR/>"I would never, ever adopt another pet now without going to a shelter to do it. I am a changed woman after seeing this show," she says.<BR/><BR/>Copyright 2008 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
