Jones has a Miniature American Shepherd named Charlie, who he called "his shadow." He has said his dog gave him a new outlook while he was grieving, “He’s become everything to me. Dogs are amazing. They have this amazing sense and amazing ability to understand how you’re feeling before you even realize you’re feeling it.” In 2016, the National Dog Show named Charlie its official "spokesdog" after they saw Jones post about him on social media.
