He has long been known for having a soft spot for a cute face.

And this time it was a puppy that melted Justin Bieber's heart after he showed off his new dog in a series of Instagram posts on Thursday.

The pop pixie seemed absolutely delighted with his new pooch, who he revealed he has named Phil, perhaps due to his love of philanthropy.

Hopefully Phil fares better than Justin's old American bulldog Karma, which he gave to his father Jeremy as a gift.

The singer's dog trainer Trevor Dvernichuk claimed the dog was thrown off a second-floor balcony by Jeremy back in 2014.

He was said to have flown into a rage after Karma - who had been living with the family in Canada - bit Justin's younger brother Jaxon.

The pet was 'hurled' outside into a snow bank, and luckily survived.

Trevor told TMZ that Jeremy gave him the dog to 'socialise' and not to return it until the job was done.
