Jon Pardi has added another member to his family, a puppy named Scout.

He used Instagram Stories to introduce his fans to Scout, a black and white Rat Terrier. Jon explained that the new puppy will eventually become his new “road dog” and companion, joining him on the bus and travelling with him whenever possible.

“He’s going to be my new companion. He’ll be on the road with me. He’ll be little enough to fly around and join the bus. He’s a good boy.”

According to Jon, Scout is already fitting right in with the family. He has met Jon’s other dog, Cowboy, and the two pups are already “best friends.”
