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.
My condolences, friend. Waiting at the door - that's my favorite poem to remember my boy, Barrett he's been gone for almost 2 years and I still shed tears for him now and again.
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
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. ❤️
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
@@davenport9807 Thank you I never had such a friend that made everything bad turn into good. Never sick never tired and always ready for fun time. Thank you again
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".
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!
Bind them to you in Heaven. It's in the Bible. "That which is bound on earth will be in heaven". I've got 3 horses and 2 dogs waiting to meet me at the Pearly Gates with Abraham, David and Billy. I miss them all so very much. Going on decades since I've seen them.
I've done lost 8 dogs and a baby pig I taught my pig to give kisses and he did every night before he went to bed he was 9 months old he had dippety which is common in pigs
I got a Chihuahua I've had her since 2015. I went to jail got out she was at the house she won't leave my side I got PTSD bipolar shisoefective disorder she's my gaudine angel she always has to come to bed with me and my wife she saved my life twice when I tried to kill myself
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 understand my friend. God blessed us with a dog named Jake. Named him after the song yes ago. He's been gone for 15 yrs. A part of me died that day. I miss him . Love this song.
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 a Siberian chow/lion chow cross named Russell, but we called him rusty. He was almost 20 years old. He got cancer on his spine, but did fine for a couple years. Then he had a stroke and heart attack at the same time during the night. I begged to let him see if he could pull through like he had so many times before. My parents agreed, then put him to sleep while I was at work. They didn't even let me be there for him, or say goodbye. To add even greater insult they just left him there at the vet's office. I didn't even get to lay him to rest. My point is I know what it is like to have to lose your child/best friend/ brother. I'm sorry for your loss.
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
I come back here because a friend that passed in 1/21, blood clot covid. He always said this was his favorite song I should remember him by. Love each other and enjoy your pets, memories is all we get to carry on with.
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!
I love that song it's great and we need more songs like that .it's sweet and wonderful and it will make you cry and it will make you think . I'm glad that someone cared enough to think about their dog like that . And the song is an old favorite. Pray for my soul to keep .it's a wonderful prayer we should always remember that one cause it's been around for years but when you put it with the dog. 🐕 It made it even more special . thanks to the one person that thought about the song and the dog and putting it together was very smart and very sweet . and it melted my heart so deeply it made me smile . God bless you and all that helped put this song together ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it's a wonderful song . And I love it so much . It also made me humble .the spirit of the song was gentle as a Lamb 🐑 . and took my mind off things . so thank you so much for sharing this with us 💗 always and I pray that the guy that in the video was and still alive and kicking it but just in case they not . God bless their souls . There's a reason for everything and even if we don't know why it happens it's still has a reason for why it did happen it was meant for me to hear this song .iam so glad that I did .am grateful for the song and for the person or people that had any part of the reason and the song itself . Bless this song and all that was involved in it . Many blessings 💋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 you made my day 💞💐 thanks for that .
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
I loved every second of this. Seeing Jake Young, seeing Jake old, seeing Jake run, seeing Jake play, seeing Jake, relax. I saw Jake's whole life, and I feel luckier than I was five minutes ago because of it.
Just curious, not gay. What does size and weight have to do with "feed jake"? I can't make the connection, so, no need to disclose my height, or weight. I'm sorry, I can't make the connection. If you're ever up for a grizzly hunt, in Alaska, let me know, otherwise, not impressed
I appreciate your comment. So many men won't acknowledge feelings from the heart. You are a good man..Many women will appreciate your heartfelt comments.
What is wrong with you that you don't have a heartfelt feeling for a man who has a heart? Many don't express it, many feel their private parts will shrink if they have a heart and it shows. Shhhhhhh.
@@katieo7069 I cried to this song because I rescued a Redbone Hound from Being put down at the pound. I❤her. I had a cyst come inside my cheek and the biopsy was negative thank God but scroll through the replies on my Comment and see how many good men replied. Even offered her, DaisyMae a home on a farm. Prayed for me. It's not that we didn't like this comment it's that Men see no need for other men to mention height, weight or occupation. It's just unnecessary in our eyes. Real Men Cry. Don't judge because it's a guy thing and no one criticized men crying just that the guy made himself out to be a 🐻
My dad loved this song and I was thinking bout him. 🖤bird dogs everywhere in my childhood. Damn fine dogs English setter/ pointers wonderful family dogs
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.
same here. buried my last boy just this past Nov. Odin was the best dog and friend. I truly believe our pets wait for us on the other side. that love is to real and true and solid, they just have to be there when we cross over.
@@meana5056 If they aren't there, I have no reason to pass myself. The idea of an eternity without my pups isn't worth having. Way too many of my pups have passed in my lifetime.
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!
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.
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.
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
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....
Nothing like the love between a dog and his/her owner. I have to daschunds and they are over the hill and now 12. I'm blessed to still have them in my life. Crushes my heart to know that they wont be here someday, but the joy and love they bring to my life has never been equaled. They are my children - brother and sister. Unconditional love. Strange how dogs pick their owners as if God put them on this planet just for you and only you. I'm a better person because of them. We've been through a lot. So many stories. We should all tell them. One of the best fiction stories of all time is Where the Red Fern Grows. Read it...by Wilson Rawls. If there is a heaven, I don't want to be there without my dogs. I don't know what I would do without them and it haunts my dreams. Great song and great tribute. Hug your dog today, take pictures, because they are a blessing for those that truly love them and they are here for a short while. They ask so little of us and give so much. Days you don't feel like walking them, do it anyway because some day you are going to miss that walk and sing a song much like this.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lost my best friend Hercules today. I held him the second he was born, he was my best friend from the minute he was born. I'd give anything to get back. I hope you're in paradise wherever you are baby boy 💔
Your baby boy is in heaven, enjoying his new body that does not deteriorate!! Hes running in beautiful fields of grass, with a small brook of water running through, with beautiful flowers of every color, and playing with the cats and dogs! He’s happy, because he knows that when your time comes to pass through the veil, that he will be waiting for you! And you will be together forever and ever , never to be parted again! Know that this is so!!! GOD created these beautiful animals to help us have a guide, to teach us lessons! To give us unconditional Love!! GOD is Love, and our creator loves his creations, believe and it will be so!!!
This song is absolutely amazing! We had to send my Jake to heaven 1/18/21😢. He was a 9yr old Black Lab/ Retreaver! I miss him everyday. At first this song made me cry every time I played it, but now I can listen and watch the video, remember all the great times I had with him! Thank you for writing/ singing this amazing song!
Can't hear this this song without crying----BUT~~~I love this song with all my heart.....Gotta take the good with the bad I guess-----SUCH A PRECIOUS SONG~~~~
I feel Your Love and Your Pain.My Brother had a Golden Retriever named Jake.When he had to be put to sleep I cried and then again when We buried Him in the backyard.
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
I like the song, I never found out who sang it and I enjoyed this video you posted of him. I had to escort my best friend across the Rainbow Bridge in 2013, now it's April 8th. 2024 and I'm still missing "Max" and I'm 74 years old and still afraid to get another best friend, Dang it, that hurt to let him go but it was time for him too. I think of Max every time I hear "Feed Jake". Thanks for sharing that song with all of us, I really enjoy it. God Bless you and Jake. Wherever I go when I pass on I just hope it's wherever "Max" and "Jake" went.
I read what you posted in the description. In June of 2020 I had to let my boy Dog go. He also was just 1 month shy 14 years old. He had cancer. Your video really brings him back to my thoughts. I still miss him.
What a beautiful song. I know this song has a different meaning for everyone, but it aways reminds me of the dogs I had that have passed on. Love them all so much. God bless you and your dog.
I have had dogs and cats my whole life and I'm getting older now and it is like having a child it takes a lot of time, money, and patience. and a lifetime of support, but in the end it is all worth it.
I just ran across the beautiful tribute to your dog Jake. My heart goes our to you. I always loved this song. We lost our 16 1/2 year old black lab/springer mix back in March 2019 in similar circumstances. The day before we had to put him down we took him for a ride to all his favorite places, our lake cottage, farm, etc. even though I had to carry him some to help him thru the snow. Our vet came to our house to euthanize Kobe as he was terribly afraid of the vets office. Needless to say it broke our hearts right in two. One year later we got a Reg black lab from our nephew and she has been a joy. But nothing could ever replace Kobe.
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.
Hi Florence. I'm so sorry about that. But I believe God knows best more than we do. This was my first time of listening to this song. It's nice to meeting you here. I hope you're having an amazing day ahead?

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. ❤️
That's awesome!
Well done pard. Best parts of my life all have a dog in them.
That is so wrong, you know its their loss and your gain. You got the best of him.
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.
You’ll never find another companion like a dog, your best friend through all life events good and bad ❤
I lost my Rocky Dog a year ago this month. Best friend I ever had. Still cry every night!
Don't cry cuz there's a special God for animals and children
N your baby is in the best hands possible, God's
No greater or pure love, miss my dog so much my heart hurts!
I can't listen to this song without crying
Impossible not too..
The video gets me. Years ago I had gotten a dog when i was younger. And I'd put doll dresses and caps on her. 😊 had her for a good many years.
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.
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
Here's to u 👍
Yeah my last one is on his way out
I cry every time I see this. I even tear up while trying to play my guitar and sing it. Thank you, Jake.
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
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.
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!!!🐾🐾🐾
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.

I am so sorry for your loss and I completely understand about your dog being your best friend. God bless you.
im so sorry for your loss -- furies can be more compassionate than some people sometimes :-)
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
Lost my girl today hurts so bad can't go on. She came one cold day and stayed 10 years. My best friend
I know everyone says it ,but she is in a better place. I believe when we pass on , we will rest in peace.
I’m so sorry for you

I am so very sorry.
AMEN SOMETIMES I KNOW DOGS LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU GROW CHILDREN MAY GOD BLESS ALL PETS
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!
Bind them to you in Heaven. It's in the Bible. "That which is bound on earth will be in heaven". I've got 3 horses and 2 dogs waiting to meet me at the Pearly Gates with Abraham, David and Billy. I miss them all so very much. Going on decades since I've seen them.
Reasons why I want to go to heaven, my dogs. Thats all I can't wait to see Lily and Eevee again or at least I hope I will.
I've done lost 8 dogs and a baby pig I taught my pig to give kisses and he did every night before he went to bed he was 9 months old he had dippety which is common in pigs

All Dogs Go to Heaven!!!
look to the sky and thank the Lord for your blessing you were given. Your beautiful dog
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 understand my friend. God blessed us with a dog named Jake. Named him after the song yes ago. He's been gone for 15 yrs. A part of me died that day. I miss him . Love this song.
been there
They truly love us unconditionally our very best friends... Bless their souls 💞
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 feel your pain
I had a Siberian chow/lion chow cross named Russell, but we called him rusty. He was almost 20 years old. He got cancer on his spine, but did fine for a couple years. Then he had a stroke and heart attack at the same time during the night. I begged to let him see if he could pull through like he had so many times before. My parents agreed, then put him to sleep while I was at work. They didn't even let me be there for him, or say goodbye. To add even greater insult they just left him there at the vet's office. I didn't even get to lay him to rest.
My point is I know what it is like to have to lose your child/best friend/ brother. I'm sorry for your loss.
If You have never had that feeling You have not lived.
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
Sooo sorry for that. Its hard to let them go
@@jeremywombacher3898 thank you. Absolutely is hard to watch
So sorry to hear that😔
Got be the hardest decision my Holly is tuning 14 this November it going to be very hard 😢
Love the song! Dogs are the best living things on earth.🐶❤️
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
Sorry man, We live with the purpose of enjoying their love, even without them it is still there. Your friend is waiting till that day my friend.
I come back here because a friend that passed in 1/21, blood clot covid. He always said this was his favorite song I should remember him by. Love each other and enjoy your pets, memories is all we get to carry on with.
Sorry to hear that bro
So sorry my heart goes out to u I wishing could. Bring him back for
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!
Every time I hear this song I think of my dogs current and past ... we are bound by our love of dogs

I love this song so much. Thanks for the post !!! HUGS !!!
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
Amen!!
My grandma asked me to take care of her dog Daniel before she passed. We lost him not too far back. RIP
I have bloodhounds and they are my pride and joy. I love this song❤
I loved every second of this. Seeing Jake Young, seeing Jake old, seeing Jake run, seeing Jake play, seeing Jake, relax. I saw Jake's whole life, and I feel luckier than I was five minutes ago because of it.
I've always loved this song so much. So sweet💜
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.
luke the drifter was one cool dude.
I'm a 6' 2" 275 lb. construction worker. This left tears in my eye.
Just curious, not gay.
What does size and weight have to do with "feed jake"?
I can't make the connection, so, no need to disclose my height, or weight.
I'm sorry, I can't make the connection.
If you're ever up for a grizzly hunt, in Alaska, let me know, otherwise, not impressed
@@stacypappas2565 I agree.
I appreciate your comment. So many men won't acknowledge feelings from the heart. You are a good man..Many women will appreciate your heartfelt comments.
What is wrong with you that you don't have a heartfelt feeling for a man who has a heart? Many don't express it, many feel their private parts will shrink if they have a heart and it shows. Shhhhhhh.
@@katieo7069 I cried to this song because I rescued a Redbone Hound from Being put down at the pound. I❤her. I had a cyst come inside my cheek and the biopsy was negative thank God but scroll through the replies on my Comment and see how many good men replied. Even offered her, DaisyMae a home on a farm. Prayed for me. It's not that we didn't like this comment it's that Men see no need for other men to mention height, weight or occupation. It's just unnecessary in our eyes. Real Men Cry. Don't judge because it's a guy thing and no one criticized men crying just that the guy made himself out to be a 🐻
My dad loved this song and I was thinking bout him. 🖤bird dogs everywhere in my childhood. Damn fine dogs English setter/ pointers wonderful family dogs
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.
I cried reading your story. Im so glad things worked out and your dad came back.
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!
same here. buried my last boy just this past Nov. Odin was the best dog and friend. I truly believe our pets wait for us on the other side. that love is to real and true and solid, they just have to be there when we cross over.
@@meana5056 If they aren't there, I have no reason to pass myself. The idea of an eternity without my pups isn't worth having. Way too many of my pups have passed in my lifetime.
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!
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.
Just remember that we WILL SEE them again and no goodbyes next time. 🙏
Dogs are the children of people like me who never had human children. I have loved mine as much as I have loved my 5 nieces and 3 nephews.
I lost my Stinky 11 years ago and my heart still bleeds!
Beautiful. I'm 60 and this made me cry. Thinking back to my special Furbabies that have gone to Heaven. Thank you ❤
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.
so very true.
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
I always loved this song & I'm glad it resonates with another dog lover.
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....
Nothing like the love between a dog and his/her owner. I have to daschunds and they are over the hill and now 12. I'm blessed to still have them in my life. Crushes my heart to know that they wont be here someday, but the joy and love they bring to my life has never been equaled. They are my children - brother and sister. Unconditional love. Strange how dogs pick their owners as if God put them on this planet just for you and only you. I'm a better person because of them. We've been through a lot. So many stories. We should all tell them. One of the best fiction stories of all time is Where the Red Fern Grows. Read it...by Wilson Rawls. If there is a heaven, I don't want to be there without my dogs. I don't know what I would do without them and it haunts my dreams. Great song and great tribute. Hug your dog today, take pictures, because they are a blessing for those that truly love them and they are here for a short while. They ask so little of us and give so much. Days you don't feel like walking them, do it anyway because some day you are going to miss that walk and sing a song much like this.
Yeah me to when I here that song 😢😢😢😢
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
so sorry about that 🙏 I hope for you God bless
Get yourself a Jake! If, You Haven't already.
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.
GREAT Dogs and GREAT names too, I miss my Pinni, Maddi and Rudi
Good job, sir! Great dog you have there. Here's to all the Jakes that we all love!
I heard this song the 1st time in 20 yrs and I remember my fur babies
I lost my heart to a rescue dog we named Jake. He was a good dog. Definitely my best friend. Pets are the best gift life offers.
Miss my black lab named Lucky. 14 years old when he went home! Miss you buddy.
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 makes me think of my ol' dogs, Boss, Harley and Jake. All three who went to heaven too soon. Thanks for doing this video.
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.
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.
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.
Peace be with you brother. Prayers for you And your family.
I hope that you're still around
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.
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.
I love this video! My heart sunk when I read that you lost your beauty angel. God’s strength and peace to you!
Dogs are so special, so forgiving, we truly don't deserve them!!!!!
Lost my best friend Hercules today. I held him the second he was born, he was my best friend from the minute he was born. I'd give anything to get back. I hope you're in paradise wherever you are baby boy 💔
I'm sorry for your loss.
Your baby boy is in heaven, enjoying his new body that does not deteriorate!! Hes running in beautiful fields of grass, with a small brook of water running through, with beautiful flowers of every color, and playing with the cats and dogs! He’s happy, because he knows that when your time comes to pass through the veil, that he will be waiting for you! And you will be together forever and ever , never to be parted again! Know that this is so!!! GOD created these beautiful animals to help us have a guide, to teach us lessons! To give us unconditional Love!! GOD is Love, and our creator loves his creations, believe and it will be so!!!
This is a beautiful song and story.it says a lot about the love of a pet. Great job
Gonna miss jake he was such a good pup):
My name is Jake
Feed my pudgy if I don't make it home
This song is absolutely amazing! We had to send my Jake to heaven 1/18/21😢. He was a 9yr old Black Lab/ Retreaver! I miss him everyday. At first this song made me cry every time I played it, but now I can listen and watch the video, remember all the great times I had with him! Thank you for writing/ singing this amazing song!
I cry like a baby every time I watch this video. Beautiful...
I'm crazy about animals but this is a beautiful song great singer wonderful voice
Can't hear this this song without crying----BUT~~~I love this song with all my heart.....Gotta take the good with the bad I guess-----SUCH A PRECIOUS SONG~~~~
I feel Your Love and Your Pain.My Brother had a Golden Retriever named Jake.When he had to be put to sleep I cried and then again when We buried Him in the backyard.
@@markallen6818 true sorrow
Beautiful song, I agree with the previous commenter that I like dogs better than people.
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
My dog, and best friend, Jake died in 2010. I listened to this song over and over.
I like the song, I never found out who sang it and I enjoyed this video you posted of him. I had to escort my best friend across the Rainbow Bridge in 2013, now it's April 8th. 2024 and I'm still missing "Max" and I'm 74 years old and still afraid to get another best friend, Dang it, that hurt to let him go but it was time for him too. I think of Max every time I hear "Feed Jake". Thanks for sharing that song with all of us, I really enjoy it. God Bless you and Jake. Wherever I go when I pass on I just hope it's wherever "Max" and "Jake" went.
Pirates of the Mississippi is the artist
please feed princess..she was an AWESOME Dog.R.I.P. miss you!!
Nice song, beautiful dog. A better friend than the majority of people you know. They love you for YOU. Thanks for doing this. Feed Frankie.
I read what you posted in the description. In June of 2020 I had to let my boy Dog go. He also was just 1 month shy 14 years old. He had cancer. Your video really brings him back to my thoughts. I still miss him.
What a beautiful song. I know this song has a different meaning for everyone, but it aways reminds me of the dogs I had that have passed on. Love them all so much. God bless you and your dog.
This made me cry so hard because it reminded me of my dog bear.
Just because he is gone doesn't mean he's not still my best friend
Btw my act died today
Cat
Patricia Laux so sorry
Doesn.t matter the name lets all say and remember give PRAISE TO OUR DOGS
Had a black lab named Jake . Had to put him down in 2014. I think about him every day. Forever my baby ❤️
Makes me cry every time I hear it. I don't care what you think so it's gonna make me cry
This reminds me of my dog Tipper..She crossed that rainbow bridge 2 years ago and I still miss her
Had Fritz for 16 years. My boy! Had him cremated. He's going with me. I feel the pain.
I have had dogs and cats my whole life and I'm getting older now and it is like having a child it takes a lot of time, money, and patience. and a lifetime of support, but in the end it is all worth it.
I just ran across the beautiful tribute to your dog Jake. My heart goes our to you. I always loved this song. We lost our 16 1/2 year old black lab/springer mix back in March 2019 in similar circumstances. The day before we had to put him down we took him for a ride to all his favorite places, our lake cottage, farm, etc. even though I had to carry him some to help him thru the snow. Our vet came to our house to euthanize Kobe as he was terribly afraid of the vets office. Needless to say it broke our hearts right in two. One year later we got a Reg black lab from our nephew and she has been a joy. But nothing could ever replace Kobe.
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.
Sorry for your loss. You’ll see him again one day. Bet you were the best brother a brother could have..
@@DC-ug6xi I bet he was an awesome brother too.
Sorry for your loss.
I wish we all could post pics of our Jakes.
Rest in peace my Jake...my heart is shattered....
Truly my best friend, protector, my everything...
Hi Florence. I'm so sorry about that. But I believe God knows best more than we do. This was my first time of listening to this song. It's nice to meeting you here. I hope you're having an amazing day ahead?
