Priscilla Block recently added a new furry friend to her family— a one-year-old mini goldendoodle named Huck.
While talking about her new song, “Yard Sale,” Block shared the heartwarming story of how Huck came into her life in a surprising way, revealing that she had unknowingly manifested a “road dog” just like him through her vision board.
“He literally came to me. I swear it was like a God thing,” Block told Country Now. “I make a vision board every single year in January. I make one about what I want, and I have been wanting a road dog for a while, and I literally put a picture that looks just like him on my vision board.”
After showing off her vision board through Zoom, which did in fact include an adorable dog who looks just like her sweet boy Huck, Block revealed how Huck came into her life.
“Ironically, I kind of just put it out there and my boyfriend, one of his coworkers was looking to rehome their mini goldendoodle,” she shared.
After speaking with Huck’s original owner, Block agreed to take Huck home on a trial period.
“They let me try bringing him out for one weekend on the road, and he has been awesome. Loves being on the bus. He is spoiled rotten,” she said with a smile.
Since he fit right in and has quickly adapted to the road life, Block said she decided to keep him.
“We took him for one night, we’re like, ‘yeah, we’ll have a trial.’ And he never went back.”
While Huck may not be a puppy, he still “acts like a puppy” but Block couldn’t be happier to welcome him home.
“I have three dogs already. I mean, my house is a zoo,” she laughed, adding, “I always wanted a doodle or some sort of dog that wouldn’t shed a lot on the bus.”
Huck has settled in perfectly, and she didn’t even need to change his name, which was inspired by the iconic character Huckleberry Finn.
“I think that they thought that maybe I was going to rename him and we thought about other names and I’m like, ‘I want him to keep his name,” she told us.
After adopting Huck, the proud dog mom set up an Instagram account called “Huck the Road Dog” where she often shared photos of Huck’s life on tour. The bio reads, “I am a full time touring road dog. My mom is Priscilla Block. I am the real star though.” Fans can follow along and enjoy cute snapshots of their travels together.
He’s even received gifts from Block’s loyal fans. Over the weekend, one fan gave the pup a custom “Block Pawty” safety vest, joining in on the trend Block started at her live shows.
“It’s official I’m official now 🦺 thank you to whoever made this for me,” Huck’s account shared alongside photos of his custom vest.
It’s a thrilling time for Priscilla Block. Along with expanding her dog family, she recently dropped “Yard Sale” from her eagerly awaited, yet-to-be-announced upcoming album. The song showcases her signature sass and witty lyrics, telling the story of selling off her ex’s belongings in a “Yard Sale” where everything is “half price.” Check out the track below.
