Oprah Story
Sponsoring a billboard four blocks from Chicago's famed Harpo Studios, MLAR asked Oprah Winfrey to do a show on puppy mills. Four days after the billboard went up, Oprah noticed our board on her way to work. Before we knew it Lisa Ling and a film crew were accompanying MLAR volunteers as they traveled the back roads of Lancaster, Chester, and Berks Counties, rescuing dogs from substandard kennels. The undercover footage was later featured on Miss Winfrey's show and millions of people around the world saw firsthand just how horrendous conditions are for dogs inside our nation's puppy mills. The program became Oprah's third most successful show of all time and kicked off a movement that has seen new laws passed in over a dozen states. This board is now featured in a college textbook on marketing.
