awww....I like animals more than most people anymore

The more i know people, the more i love my dogs.

Most loyal, loving, bedt friend ever. Dogs are the absolute best. Thank God.

I rescued an 8 yr old lab/Dane mix 2 yrs ago. His people abandoned him after having him since he was a pup. He’s old and gray, but he is our baby, our boy. He’s 10 now, and he is a happy old fella. He is a sweetheart, and I don’t know how anyone could have left him. He is LOVED. ❤️

You never have a dog long enough to repay the loyalty that they show you.

Miss my golden so much 3 more months he would have been 19 never forget that precious baby my best friend rip baby

I can't listen to this song without crying

Look to the sky and thank God for the beautiful blessing of your pet ❤️

No greater or pure love, miss my dog so much my heart hurts!

My loyal dog and best friend who was also could Jake, he was 13 years, died today 26/11/2022. Of cancer, he was a Jack Russell, I feel so lost without him. Thank you for this video. MY JAKE AND YOUR JAKE, RIP.

You’ll never find another companion like a dog, your best friend through all life events good and bad ❤

Love the song! Dogs are the best living things on earth.🐶❤️

My dog Jake died 2 years ago from heart disease and cancer. I sure miss him. Your video brings back memories of how great he was - just like your Jake.

My friend Justin Howell from wva use to play this song on his twelve string he passed away from COVID miss you my friend always thinking about you ole friend God bless you

It amazes me how many up to date comments that there is on this song. We are all here because we lost a big part of our families. It's a beautiful thing.

THIS makes me think of how much i love my dog, especially the late I miss him and this song almost makes me come to tears.. THANK YOU..

I lost my chocolate lab of 14 years a year ago! My Garth, my best friend and protector. I will miss him forever and always!!!🐾🐾🐾

This song used to make me cry and miss having a dog so bad. But I wasn't going to take on an animal I couldn't afford. I had a best friend who was terminally ill and I had known her for 28 years asked me if I wanted her girls when she passed away, and September 18th I adopted her two lil girls and October third she earned her wings. I do absolutely everything I can for my two dogs now. They'd been my best friends as her dogs for 8 years, and now are my whole heart, now they're mine

My adult, live-in-daughter and I suddenly lost our "Jake" (named Snoopypoo) a 15 year old Chiweenie, on January 31, 2024. We knew Snoopy was getting old, had developed cataracts, but still was a fine looking, very sharp, very protective and loving little buddy , and my constant companion in retirement. We cried for days and nights afterwards. This morning I listened to this song, cried some more. There is NO "GETTING OVER" the doggie or cat love of your life, folks. You get another dog (we couldn't even go a full week without another) and you go on. That's all you can do. You go on. Let me tell you, though, that both my daughter and I are spiritual sensitives. I've had outrageously incredible and more subtle spirit interactions my entire life. Since he left, Snoopypoo has come back to lay on my pillow with me, for a few seconds. Since he left, I caught a fleeting glimpse of Snoopypoo gazing up at me from his favorite chair. A little while ago and for the first time since he left, I used my bed, instead of couch, to catch a quick nap, which I did frequently with him under teh covers. For the first time since he left, I awoke to feel Snoopypoo moving under the covers and going back to sleep. I trust that, the God who took our Snoopy without explaining WHY it was necessary to TAKE HIM, when he was SO LOVED and NEEDED, will alllow Snoopypoo to continue to visit us, and to run back to me, at the moment of my death, to lead me to the Heaven I know he is enjoying, with untold millions of other loved dogs, cats, horses, and the like. Two parting thoughts:"It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." and "Tears are words the heart can't say".

A good dog or horse is hard to replace. They don't care if the whole world is passed at you...they still love you.

My grandma asked me to take care of her dog Daniel before she passed. We lost him not too far back. RIP

I lost my Rocky Dog a year ago this month. Best friend I ever had. Still cry every night!

This song is beautiful. I have to put down my 14 year old papillon and I kept crying for hours. This song I stumbled upon helped me get my tears out. God bless our animals and all animal lovers out there

I have a German Shepherd dog that is my personal service dog and has been part of my life since He has been a little puppy and he is 10 years old now. The best friend I ever had.

One of my favorite songs growing up. I remember after mom and dad got divorced when I was 6 years old and I worshipped the ground my dad walked on but he was heart broke and couldn't take the pain of losing mom me my sister and little brother. So he disappeared from Ohio and I didn't hear from until Christmas morning 2 years later and to a kid that lived his daddy the way I did I couldn't of gotten a better Christmas present than my daddy showing Christmas morning. So we started the relationship back with Dad who came with his new girlfriend which is who he's been married to up to this day and I'm 39 now. He took off to North Carolina after him and my mom's divorce. To this day I've always loved my step mom and couldn't imagine dad with anybody else. I believe the good Lord makes somebody for everyone and he made Sandy for my dad. She's worshipped the ground that man walks on and he does the same with her. Her and my mom have away gotten song great. So anyway dad lived in Indiana and after dad showing mom that he was back for good and never leaving mine and sister and brothers lives again mom let us start spending as much time at his house as we wanted to. Never went thru court and let them decide what they felt was right for us to go see him. So it was the following when we got to go spend 2 weeks out at dads for the first time. Dad was in the military when I was born and to this day he has always got up in the morning with the chickens. It was the first morning I stayed there and I woke up to the smell of my step mom cooking breakfast and coffee brewing and this was the song playing on dad's tv on cmt. That morning at 8 years old is what started my love affair with real country music and to this day it's all I'll listen to. I'm not talking about this fake country music they play on the radio thee days. I won't listen to any of that garbage unless it's Chris Stapleton or Jamey Johnson. That's one of my best childhood memories after my dad came back and just like he said he ain't ever left us again. Some might think him leaving us was a shitty thing to do and it tore me up as a kid but him coming back was more than enough to clean the slate with me. Everybody makes mistakes in life but way back then I learned it's what you learn from those mistakes that defines the person you are. I love my dad and step mom more than I can say just like I love my mom with the only difference being I've always know my mom wouldn't leave us kids and did everything she could of possibly given to make sure we was taken care of growing up. I couldn't of asked the Lord above for better parents and there ain't a day in my life that I wasn't thankful for the ones he gave me. What's really ironic is my dad has a beagle rabbit dog that goes everywhere my dad goes. He eats everything my dad eats. He sleeps right next to my dad every night and his name is Jake. My dad has had many dogs in my life but the only other match made in heaven besides my dad and Jake is my dad and step mom Sandi. So If my dad dies before he wakes he can damn well rest assured that Ill Feed Jake.

look to the sky and thank the Lord for your blessing you were given. Your beautiful dog

I totally love this song ever since the first time I heard it it's a tearjerker there is a time for your heartstrings it's pure country at its best not too many people kissing with that much so bored bring tears to somebody's eyes it's awesome song God bless from Maine

I’m not crying, you are!

I have bloodhounds and they are my pride and joy. I love this song❤

My two beautiful emotional support animals are going to rainbow bridge next month they are 13 years old and they're showing me every sign in the world that they're tired and ready to go so mama's going to take them. But tonight we're all tucked into bed warm and cozy together

Beautiful, I needed to hear this, this evening. Thank you and God bless you,

Lost my girl today hurts so bad can't go on. She came one cold day and stayed 10 years. My best friend

I named my dog after this song. He was my trucking buddy for 13 1/2 years. Finally had to put him down last weekend

Dogs are so special, so forgiving, we truly don't deserve them!!!!!

Every time I hear this song I think of my dogs current and past ... we are bound by our love of dogs

Doesn.t matter the name lets all say and remember give PRAISE TO OUR DOGS

I had a dog named Jake until he was 16 in human years. When I had to do the right thing my vet was kind enough to allow me the room because I was holding him & bawling my eyes out & unable to pull it together for a long time. Man I miss that dog.

I had a lady friend in Connecticut who had a dog named Jake. She left him with me in Florida for a few months. When she came back to stay with me for a little while, their reunion was great!

Had a black lab named Jake . Had to put him down in 2014. I think about him every day. Forever my baby ❤️

Crying here. This looks like a Hungarian Vizsla. I had one as a boy. His name was Jackson. He was my best buddy. We did everything together! He was hit by a car back in 1984, and my Grandpa had to put him down so that he did not suffer. I still weep. He was such a good boy!!! My best buddy! He defended my Mama from an intruder and, he stopped my Brother from drifting away in a creek. What a great friend! My goal is to get one for my girls. My advice is to get one of these great dogs for your kids. I cannot stress what a great breed these guys are!

Dogs are Gods creatures and only on loan to us until God calls them back home…it is the second greatest gift God ever gave us…unconditional love.

If this song doesn’t tear you up you do not have a heart I miss you Dixie Girl ❤

I recently suffered a great loss in my life... Shortly prior to the loss, my son got a Bull terrier/ Shepard mix . Due to a change in his work schedule, I became the dog sitter. As I sat in my truck crying, his dog climbed up on my lap , put his head on my shoulder, and sharply let his breath out through his nostrils,( he sighed) .As he leaned against me and I hugged him , I realized that I didn't feel as lost and lonely. I have a lot of good friends, who have offered a lot of support and great advice , but this dog is truly my best friend.

Animals unconditional love, unlike alot of people

I wish we all could post pics of our Jakes.

Had Fritz for 16 years. My boy! Had him cremated. He's going with me. I feel the pain.

Puppy =1982-1997. Miss her tremendously. Black lab great girl.

This song should be dedicated to every working dog/battle buddy everywhere the world

My dog Jake lived to be almost 16 years old. He had arthritis and one day he just wouldn't get up and he quit eating. His health deteriorated fast and he had to be put to sleep hardest thing I had to do I sure do miss him.

I had the opportunity to play with the pirates of the Mississippi and when they sang this song I thought of my two dogs that I had to put down in my lifetime and I cried like a baby through the whole song God bless you Danny Mayo for writing this

Rest in peace my Jake...my heart is shattered.... Truly my best friend, protector, my everything...

My 15 years old black lab passed away and i had her cremated so she is by my bed for now. I was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer, inoperable so my smokey will be with me forever. I sure do miss her.

Couple years ago, I lost my best friend he was a cockapoo, named Buffy but he had the soul of an Angel always knew how to put a smile on my face. He died in my arms inside I was broke but he kept telling me he's still here, and I have since rescued two more dogs and try everyday to show them the love I learned from Buffy.

So hard to lose your best friend but after a little time you look back & it was so worth it.-Live like you were dying.

One thing I now for sure... Jake crossed rainbow's bridge knowing he was loved. What a precious, precious soul.

Damn Ya'll. I cry every time I see this video. Reminds me of my" Luke". I named him after Luke the Drifter. He was a rescue Bluetick Hound.

I love this song so much. Thanks for the post !!! HUGS !!!

I'm a grown ass man and this song and this dog make me cry every time dogs do that especially now in my time is coming and I worry about mine

I lost my heart and soul of 11 years.mini dachund named bella.she was my baby..one of the hardest things i ever did was losing her.damn best dog i ever had..rip bella girl

If dogs don't go to Heaven, I don't think I want to go there either. I've been owned by six different dogs through out my life and I still cry over each one when I think about them! My last two, Smoochie and Daisy are still alive and well and may very well outlive me. Dogs are beyond any doubt the finest animals ever placed on Earth by God!

Dogs are the only thing that love you unconditionally

The first time I heard this song I was working graveyards in a welding shop and bawled like a baby.That was over 30 years ago.

please feed princess..she was an AWESOME Dog.R.I.P. miss you!!

Dogs are the visible expression of God's unconditional love here on earth..I had 3 now I have eight..we'll be ok I hope😅

I'm crazy about animals but this is a beautiful song great singer wonderful voice

Beautiful. I'm 60 and this made me cry. Thinking back to my special Furbabies that have gone to Heaven. Thank you ❤

I love this song I cry every time I hear it

This song makes chills run up and down my spine and hits me right in my heart many people do not understand this song is about a Man fixing to commit suicidal and wants someone to take care of ole Jake…IF A stranger are someone wants to talk Don’t turn them down you might be the only one that can save there life I know I have been standing at the crossroads before,,God bless you and have a wonderful Sunday

Miss my black lab named Lucky. 14 years old when he went home! Miss you buddy.

Not ashamed to admit this song brings tears to my eyes as it reminds me of losing the best friends of my life MY DOGS!

I have always loved this song. He sings about Jake more like his friend than pet. I never owned my animals. They were family.

Today is my Father’s birthday. I lost him in a car accident 21 years ago end of this month. This song take me back to my childhood. I listened to this many times in my dad’s pickup truck.

My dad has several health problems and he's named ALL his dogs Jake I never knew why and the other day he turned this song on and said "if I die before I wake feed Jake he's been a good dog my best friend right threw it all" with tears in his eyes....

My brother passed away in his sleep 4 years ago. His name was Chris. He had a dog naked jake. I listen to this song and think of him. My parents now take care of Jake.

My dog, and best friend, Jake died in 2010. I listened to this song over and over.

I always loved this song & I'm glad it resonates with another dog lover.

I have such a great relationship with my dog, his name is rocky, but I play this song and sing it to him while he's sitting in my lap, 80lb dog is a big baby when he's with his dad, feed Rock! Love this song.

Gonna miss jake he was such a good pup):

My father played this song on repeat when our Rottweiler passed ❤RIP Gentle Ben.

Makes me cry every time I hear it. I don't care what you think so it's gonna make me cry

This makes me think of my ol' dogs, Boss, Harley and Jake. All three who went to heaven too soon. Thanks for doing this video.

Beautiful song, I agree with the previous commenter that I like dogs better than people.

We had a Jake show up here lost and have him on Facebook ĺookimg for his owner. He is a sweetheart . God bless dogs

My boy, Jake, was stolen. My whole life. I only hope is is ok. My best friend through it all. Jake_the_Calicat Crying now. Miss him dearly. Had to listen to this song...hope he is alright. Love you Jake.

I've lost several dogs over the years and it's never easy. Just like losing a family member. A dog will love you and always be happy to see you, weather you've been gone five minutes or a few days. They don't care if you're rich or poor, or what you've done wrong. They'll always be there for you.

My husband loved this song and always told me to make sure it was played at his funeral we were married 26 years he passed away unexpectedly 3 years ago. Life not been the same I been with him all my life and it's so lonely and we were each other's ride or die and I am glad and thankful for or time but it's so un fair

I heard this song the 1st time in 20 yrs and I remember my fur babies

Beautiful song...

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG. i have a german shepard named Spirit. my daughter and i had a roomate who passed away from cancer and he bought him and right away we all fell in love with him. he is a good dog. stayed by him from the time when he found that our roomate was sick until he went to the hospital where he passed away. and that was a month and 4 days ago, and he still waits for him to come home. my daughter and i told him that he will be well taken care of. he will never be abused, or go hungry.

This song touches my heart ❤️

Nothing worse than losing a "man's best friend"- the 4 legged kind.

We will all see our pups again in heaven. I know some will disagree but oh well.

I'm a 6' 2" 275 lb. construction worker. This left tears in my eye.

This is Jason's wife, and this is my favorite song in the world. It always makes me think of my very first dog. God knows I wish I could have him back. My favorite dog in the world and I will never be able to see him again until I go to heaven and be able to run the fields with him. I will always love you Luggy. 💔 💕 ❤️ 💖 💙 💚 💛 🧡 💜 🖤

Had a mix Redbone and Black and Tan named Red for 13 years he was the best friend I ever had in this life except Mom and Dad I can't wait to see him again someday in heaven he was a great boy we were together through alcoholism and cocaine addiction he never stopped loving me or turned on me like many people did I've got a bunch of 4 legged friends waiting for me along with Mom and Dad

I had 2 beagles ole buttermilk and cornbread. Damn near killed me when I put them down yrs back. I still hurt to this day.

Best friends one can ever have .i just love my dogs .

That song came out when I was in a hard time and I lost my best friend Bean Dog at the same time shed a lot of tears not over the ex wife but the loss of my buddy bean dog
