Ophrah Winfrey's dog Solomon has died at the age of 14.

This is Oprah's third dog to die in the past 17 months.

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.

How sad! I know she was close to all her dogs, like family. Moreso since she doesn't have children. These are her kids. Losing a pet is so devasting. My heart goes out to her. I lost my cat, and I grieved for two years. A month ago I was finally was able to allow myself to get another kitten. He sits at my feet while I write.
