Oprah Winfrey currently has five dogs: golden retrievers Luke and Layla, cocker spaniel Sadie, and springer spaniels Sunny and Lauren.
Growing up, Oprah says she was never allowed to have a dog. So when she became an adult, one of the first things she did was get one. Since then, she's had 21—but only one that she has considered a true teacher. In the side video, Oprah reveals what she learned from her beloved cocker spaniel Sophie.
