Brantley Gilbert loves his dog Sylo, and lucky for him, Sylo loves being on Brantley’s tour bus. In fact, Brantley says that’s the one place Sylo is most comfortable. Brantley parks his tour bus on his property when he’s not on the road and he always feeds Sylo out at the bus barn since that’s where he’s used to being. Brantley recalls one night he had gone to the barn and fed Sylo, and it was pitch dark outside. As they were walking back to the house, Brantley was on the phone when he realized that Sylo wasn’t walking next to him anymore. Since Sylo is deaf, Brantley knew he couldn’t call for him, so he started looking for him and he says, “He went back to the bus and was sittin’ at the bus door, but nobody let him in. So he must have wandered off and went to the bathroom or somethin’ and then was like, ‘Don’t know where my dad’s goin’, but I know I’m supposed to be on that bus, I know that belongs to me.’”
Sylo is getting to spend some quality time on his favorite bus while Brantley closes out the year with his Let It Ride Tour, which will wrap up on December 13th in Fort Myers, Florida.

Brantley Gilbert – Sylo loves the bus :52
“I park my bus at my house and since he was five weeks I’ve had him and brought him up on the bus, so he knows that’s his jam. He knows that’s his place. So even when I’m at home, I feed him up at the bus. Well it was pitch dark the other night, it’s probably 50 yards, 40 yards from my house, not far, but it was pitch dark. So after I fed him I walkin’, I was on the phone at the same time and we were runnin’ and he was cuttin’ up and likes to like nudge my leg and stuff when we’re walkin’ and all-a-sudden I looked down and I didn’t feel that nudge, and I didn’t hear his little jingle of his collar and was like, ‘He can’t hear me’, definitely not, so I had to finally. He went back to the bus and was sittin’ at the bus door, but nobody let him in. So he must have wandered off and went to the bathroom or somethin’ and then was like, ‘Don’t know where my dad’s goin’, but I know I’m supposed to be on that bus, I know that belongs to me.’”
