Musicians spend a lot of time on the road, traveling from city to city. They also spend a lot of time in studios and writing sessions.
Life as an artist can be pretty hectic.
Artists have a special crew of people to keep them company for their crazy adventures, and some have furry best buds to keep them company too.
It’s time we take a moment to shine light on some of the special pals from our Canadian country music friends.
Here are some Canadian country music dogs.
