Jake Owen Mourning The Sudden Loss Of His Dog Slash

If you have a second, you might want to stop by Jake Owen’s Instagram and send him some love. Over the weekend, he unexpectedly had to say goodbye to his German Shepherd, Slash.

Sadly, Jake wasn’t able to be there in person when Slash passed. He suffered a flipped stomach and unfortunately surgery wasn’t able to correct the problem.

This is my nightmare—not only losing Timmy, which I know will happen some day, but not being by his side when it happens.

Jake said that Slash was more like a human than a dog and always wanted to be near him. He added, “Losing a dog is like losing a family member. It was hard for me to even put this post together and share. go love on your family. Go love on your dogs. See ya up there Slashy. Love ya buddy.”
