So he reached his hand in my dog’s face, shook his fist, and growled at him, and my dog taught him a lesson. Anyone who knows Lee knows he heard a challenge in that statement. Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton asked Brett about a story that his dog bit Lee Brice:īrett said, “Yeah, only because he probably thought Lee was going to bite him! My dog is a scared little rescue, and we were on a bus after a show, and I told Lee my dog is scared of everyone, so I told him to stay away.

Just as she walked by, the light hit her just right, and I’m like, ‘She’s gorgeous,'” he recalled.
“It was raining and dark, so no one was on the beach, and then this girl walks by in this big ol’ sweatshirt, and you can’t tell if she’s attractive or not.
