JAKE OWEN: Best Friend Company

Jake Owen is making sure his bulldog Merle is in good company with a new canine brother…Axel! Of course when a new sibling is brought home, there’s always some ruff patches…Jake shares that Merle is “a little frustrated, with the addition of a new dog because the new dog is obviously a German Shepherd, so he is way bigger than Merle now and he’s kinda rough with Merle. So it’s alright. When I got Merle, I had another dog as well and Merle gave him a hard time, so he is just getting what he deserves, what is owed to him.” Of course everyone is getting use to each other, and new routines are being established, and at the end of the day, Jake says “it’s good to have a new guy in the family.” Jake Owen is living what he sings…he’s definitely in “Good Company.”

“Oh! Merle is good, man. He’s a little frustrated, with the addition of a new dog because the new dog is obviously a German Shepherd, so he is way bigger than Merle now and he’s kinda rough with Merle. So it’s alright. When I got Merle, I had another dog as well and Merle gave him a hard time, so he is just getting what he deserves, what is owed to him.”

“The new addition is Axel, he is a German Shepherd. He is great, he and Merle are good friends but you can definitely tell the frustration stemming from Merle because of how much Axel is just trying to be the dominant alpha dog. So it’s good, it’s good to have a new guy in the family.”
