Justin Bieber has got a new fetish to swoon over. The mega star has acquired a small dog and perhaps cannot stop gushing about the same.

The recently turned 21-year-old singer has introduced the pup by uploading an adorable picture of it on his Instagram account. The picture shows a small brown and black dog cradled in the heavily tattooed arm of the "Baby" hit maker. See the pic here.

"Say hello to the newest member of the Bieber family #Esther," wrote Bieber to caption the photo. The singer took the puppy to their first date out and was spotted at Mastro's Sunday night in Bev Hills for a fancy dinner, TMZ reported.

No matter how much Bieber is gushing about his latest arm candy, the singer has a very bad reputation as a pet-keeper. To date, he is not able to keep most of his pets safe and healthy, be it a dog or a monkey.

Bieber reportedly used to own a hamster which he gave away to a random fan in a meet-and-greet session. The hamster, which was named Pac, reportedly died within three months. Bieber's famous pet, Mally, the Capuchin monkey, was abandoned in Germany when it was confiscated in Munich since the singer could not produce any proof of its vaccination record during one of his world tour.

The singer promised to return with complete papers to get back Mally, but never returned. Mally is now under proper care in a German zoo. Bieber even failed to pay $8000, which he was charged for the monkey's vaccinations and care by zoo officials, Gawker reported earlier.

Bieber used to own one more pet which also met the similar fate. Karma, the American Bulldog, was bought by Bieber and was under the care of his father, Jeremy Bieber. Karma was thrown out of the second floor building and abandoned too, when it accidentally bite one of the family members.
