Brantley Gilbert has had his dog Sylo for about seven months and he absolutely loves him. “He is the most awesome dog that I can imagine,” says Brantley. Although he laughs and says, “This dude is lazy. He gets in a mood maybe once every couple days where he wants to run around and act like a maniac and play and bite, but the majority of the time this dude is just chill. He’s a great bus dog.”

Brantley discovered after he got Sylo that the dog is deaf, but he says, “He’s actually developin’ a little bit of a hearin’, the vet says, and it’s not a whole lot. I still have to bang on the wall or stomp my foot on the floor to let him know where I’m at in the house, if he can’t find me.”
Sylo is currently traveling with Brantley on his Let It Ride Tour, which will run through early December.
