Jake Owen's recent trip to Baltimore changed his life.
The proof is this tweet from the "What We Ain't Got" singer:
Merle just got a brother... Had to save this guy in Baltimore. He has no idea how awesome his life just became. pic.twitter.com/Kbld9CAFUN

So, who's Merle? And who's "this guy" Owen had to "save?"
Soft-hearted Jake Owen just added a new furry friend to his household, reports Sterling Whitaker of Taste of Country. The "What We Ain't Got" singer was in Baltimore when he came across an adorable pooch that needed his help.
Owen's latest addition could make a great playmate/best friend for his daughter, Pearl, who will turn two on Thanksgiving. Hopefully, it won't take the unnamed pup long to get his bus legs - Owen has been known to bring his English bulldogs on the road with him.
"Vern was out for a few years," Owen said in 2011. "We retired him from the road. He became lonesome and ornery. And mean!"
Bulldog Merle has still been on the bus with Owen, who says the dog is "living the life of a desperado" as they roll around the country playing shows, according to Taste of Country. "Merle stays up front, and likes to fall asleep in the front lounge.
"Once he passes out, he's out," Owen states.
Maybe Merle's new, young, frisky road buddy will make him want to stay awake longer.
