Dierks Bentley, along with his beloved dog Jake, appeared as guest hosts on The View last week.  Dierks appeared on the show as a guest host but he also took time to perform what will be his next single off his upcoming album, Riser, which is due out this fall.  The song is called I Hold On and he talks about holding on to memories of his father and of the things that are important like the love of his wife, faith and freedom.

The show was dog themed, thus the reason he brought Jake along with him.  It was Jake's first time flying and the airline gave him his own seat and water.  Check out the picture here.  He did have to go through the pat down process just like everyone else.
