Joe Jonas' dog is his best friend.

The Jonas Brothers singer is grateful for the company his pet pooch Winston gives him now he lives alone in Los Angeles, though he admits when he isn't working, he loves to host fun evenings for his friends.

Asked if he gets lonely living alone, he said: "Luckily I have a best friend in my dog Winston – I talk to him all the time when we're at home.

"Then when I'm not busy, I have friends come over to play video games or we'll go out for something to eat, so it's never lonely."

Joe has launched a solo career and while he misses working with his bandmates and brothers Nick and Kevin, he says travelling and planning is now much easier.

He told Top Of The Pops magazine: "At times I miss them, but it's also a really exciting time in my life. Plus there are fewer bags to carry and fewer people to travel with.

"It also used to be three different people wanting to do three different things, like eat at different restaurants, so now the decision-making process is a lot easier."
