OPRAH'S DOG DIES

Oprah Winfrey is in mourning after the death of her beloved pet cocker spaniel Solomon, RADAR has learned.

The 14-year-old dog - a Christmas present from boyfriend Stedman Graham in 1994 -- died on October 27 from kidney failure after months of dialysis treatment.

Solomon is the third of Oprah's dogs to die agonizing deaths in the last 17 months: In March, Sophie, another cocker spaniel died - also of kidney failure - and in May last year her 2-year-old golden retriever Gracie choked to death on a small plastic ball.
