It can get lonely on the road, but man's best friend can be a great traveling companion! Brantley Gilbert now has a buddy to take along with him on tour, as he's just gotten a new puppy.

The 'Bottoms Up' singer is so in love with his new best friend that he had to share a photo of the adorable pup with his Facebook followers. Gilbert, holding his American bulldog puppy in his arms, told his fans on Monday (Feb. 10) that they should be allowed to watch the black and white four-legged-friend grow up, too.

In the photo, Gilbert showcases his signature sleeve of tattoos and chains while he holds a sleepy-eyed Sylo. He even asked his 2.4 million Facebook fans if they'd like a new picture every week, so they can see the puppy's progress! It seems like his fans are happy about this prospect -- the post got over 21,000 likes (and counting) in just about an hour.

Gilbert is currently out on the road (with Sylo) on his Let It Ride Tour, with dates throughout the U.S. The star is joined on tour by Eric Paslay and labelmate Thomas Rhett. In June, Gilbert -- and maybe his pup -- will head to New York for the second-annual Taste of Country Music Festival. Get more details here.
