Jon Pardi is introducing fans to his “new family member,” a sweet little pup named Scout.
The country star took to Instagram Stories late Tuesday to introduce fans to Scout, a black and white Rat Terrier who is already settling into his new life with Pardi. The singer explained that Scout will soon become his new “road dog” and companion, joining him on the bus and traveling with him whenever possible.
“He’s a rat terrier, and he’s going to be a good deer dog, truck dog…whatever you want dog. And he’s a good boy. He’s just getting used to his whole life right now. But I showed him to a broken down truck and a bunch of weird dogs and a bunch of drama, but he’ll be all right.”
As little Scout sat comfortably on his lap, Pardi continued to gush over his newest companion.
“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 Pardi, Scout is already fitting right in with the family.
Scout has also met Pardi’s other dog, Cowboy, and the two pups are already “best friends.”
With the clip coming to a close, Pardi gave fans one more look at his new pup before proudly introducing him.
“Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Scout. He got that tuxedo head. He got that tuxedo head. He’s a classy gentleman. He’s classy.”
Pardi will have plenty of opportunities to bring Scout along for the ride this fall. The “Head Over Boots” singer recently kicked off his GAMBLIN’ MAN TOUR 2026, launching the trek with capacity crowds in Richmond, Virginia, on September 17 and Atlantic City, New Jersey, on September 18.
The tour is slated to continue through November 14, with stops in Georgia, Colorado, Texas and more. The run comes during a busy year of touring for Pardi, who has already played to more than 500,000 fans across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the U.K.
With plenty more dates ahead, Scout is sure to get his fair share of time on the road with his new best friend.

Billy Ray Cyrus and Lee Greenwood are honoring the life and service of Kentucky State Police Trooper Hayden Phillips, who was fatally shot while conducting a traffic stop on Interstate 65 in Warren County, Kentucky, on Monday, September 28.
According to Kentucky State Police, Phillips was shot shortly after 2 p.m. CT near Smiths Grove. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Phillips was a three-year veteran of the Kentucky State Police and leaves behind his wife and three children.
The shooting prompted a statewide manhunt, and authorities later arrested 51-year-old Emonnie Branch of Portland, Tennessee, in Louisville. Branch has been charged with murder of a first responder, a peace officer, in connection with Phillips’ death.
Cyrus, who hails from Kentucky, took to social media to share a heartfelt message for Phillips’ family, including his wife and three sons, while asking his followers to keep them and those who served alongside Phillips in their thoughts and prayers.
“Thoughts and prayers for my home state of Kentucky. Rest in peace, Trooper Hayden Phillips, who gave his life in the line of duty. Praying for his wife, his three sons, and all who loved and served alongside him,” he wrote. “Some Gave All… Thank you for your service and sacrifice. A true Kentucky hero.”
The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer also encouraged fans to donate to the family through the Kentucky State Police Foundation.
Lee Greenwood also honored the fallen officer on social media.
“Kim and I just learned of the tragic loss of Kentucky State Police Trooper Hayden Phillips, who was shot and killed in the line of duty on I-65 north of Nashville. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with his family, loved ones, and the entire KSP family. We will always stand with the men and women in blue,” he shared. “May God bless Trooper Phillips and all who wear the badge.”
Funeral arrangements have been announced for Phillips. Visitation is scheduled for Saturday, October 3, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Living Hope Baptist Church in Bowling Green, with funeral services set for Sunday, October 4, at noon at E.A. Diddle Arena on the campus of Western Kentucky University. The public is encouraged to attend.
Phillips will be laid to rest following the funeral service.
