It’s one of the hardest things that a pet owner will have to go through, the loss of your best friend. Earlier this month Dierks lost his beloved dog Jake after 15 years together. Over the weekend, Dierks paid tribute to his four-legged friend while singing “Every Mile A Memory.”
As a huge animal love myself and losing my very first dog, Sexie a couple of years ago, I know what a gut wrenching pain is to lose your dog.
A couple years ago, I got to talk with Dierks backstage at Ten Man Jam and I asked him about Jake and how he was doing. At the time, Jake was slowing down, but still doing OK. If anything, Deirks was dreading and trying not to think of the day when he’d lose Jake…and I don’t blame him.
Watch all the way to the end…that’s where I got a little teary-eyed.
