Yes, a very generous gift indeed! =) Five weeks ago, when Scott MacIntyre got booted from American Idol, Paula Abdul told him: “I have a wonderful surprise for you in a couple of weeks.” And last Friday, the surprise gift was finally given and it was a guide dog from Guide Dogs of America in Sylmar, California! Niiice! Scott walked — or “test drove” as he joked — two of the organization’s Labrador retrievers but he won’t get his dog until after the American Idol tour ends on September 15.

According to reports, Scott MacIntyre was invited to perform in a National Guide Dog Month event and that’s where Paula Abdul surprised him. The singer said, “Are you serious? Thank you so much!” when told about the gift. After the American Idol tour, Scott will get matched up with the right pooch for him and go through a 28-day training process. Paula joked: “We have to find a dog that really likes loud music.”
