Nick Jonas Birthday

Nick Jonas  has a new best friend: a golden

retriever named Elvis.

The pup was a birthday gift from his family,

according to the band’s rep. The youngest member

of the Jonas Brothers band, who turned 16 on

Tuesday, named the pup for two of his favorite

musicians, Elvis Costello and Elvis Presley.

Though the band has been busy working on its

upcoming film, Jonas Brothers 3-D Concert Movie

(which will open Feb. 22, 2009), Nick still made

time for Elvis on Tuesday, taking him for a walk

around his L.A. neighborhood.
