Probably The Oprah Winfrey Show host thought Graham could survive on his own or her dogs mean more meaning in her life compared to Stedman Graham.
The irony is, she and Stedman have been in the relationship for more than 30 years while her dogs, um may not have half as many years of life expectancy compared to her relationship.
But Oprah was thoughtful to leave 0.03 billion dollars to her dogs. Apparently, Oprah owns five dogs: golden retrievers Luke and Layla, cocker spaniel Sadie, and springer spaniels Sunny and Lauren.

Oh! how could she forget about her girls’ and their future? Although the exact amount is not yet disclosed, the media mogul has definitely mentioned them in her will.
But wait! Oprah even if by any chance adopts the three girls, Stedman Graham won't be on the part of their family. What? Yes, the 63-year-old motivational speaker plans to raise on her own. According to a source,
There’s no talk of her adopting the children with Stedman — this is something she’s going to do by herself.
Well, Oprah's dogs are not the first ones to inherit millions from their owners. There are many. Trouble Leona Helmsley's dog also inherited $12 million, more than Oprah's dog, unfortunately.
But time will only tell if Oprah Winfrey decides to change her will and maybe this time she will include persons those are breathing.
