CLEARWATER — Winter the dolphin, Clearwater Marine Aquarium resident and the subject of a movie currently in production in north Pinellas County, will be featured Monday on The Oprah Winfrey Show: The Farewell Season.
Winter, who lost her tail in 2006 after being tangled in a crab trap and then made international headlines by getting a newly devised prosthetic tail, will be included in an hour-long segment on amazing animals.
The story will highlight Winter's special connection with a 10-year-old girl in Dallas. McKenna McGough has hearing loss in both ears and refused to wear her hearing aids until she met Winter. The Oprah Show airs locally at 4 p.m. weekdays on WFLA-TV Ch. 8.
