Nick Lachey Picks Up a Husky Pup

Posted Monday March 1, 2010 7:31 PM GMT

Taking another step in their relationship, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have adopted a pet dog as part of their family.

The “What’s Left of Me” singer and his gorgeous girlfriend picked out a one-year-old Siberian Husky named Kona after seeing it on display at an adoption event.

Nick explained, "I was driving down Ventura and we saw rescue dogs on the side of the road. Vanessa was with me — I don't make those kind of decisions alone anymore — but since I grew up with a husky, I couldn't resist."

From his past experience with the breed, Nick said Huskies are a challenge"because they can be aloof. They need a lot of exercise, but once you let them know that you're the alpha male, they're very loyal, great dogs."
