Justin Bieber has a new dog.

The 'Never Say Never' hitmaker wasted no time in treating his pet pooch, who he has named Esther, to a slap-up meal at Mastro's in Beverly Hills on Sunday night and was spotted carrying the canine outside the eatery.

Justin later took to his Instagram account to show off his new four-legged friend, posting a picture of his pet snuggled up in his heavily tattooed arm.He attached the caption: "Say hello to the newest member of the bieber family #Esther" (sic).

In December, Justin took to his social networking sites to reveal that his pet pooch Sammy had passed away.In an Instagram post attached to a photograph of the singer as a youngster holding the dog, he wrote: "R.i.p Sammy you were the best puppy ever" (sic). He wrote on Twitter: "#RIPSammy (sic)"

The 21-year-old star's fanswill be hoping he reads the animal-related rules and regulations when it comes to taking Esther to other countries.

Last year, he had to pay $10,700 to German authorities for trying to take his pet monkey Mally into the country in March 2013 without the necessary documents. Justin had to fork out a $2,800 import fine and further costs for the primate after it was forced to spend several weeks at an animal shelter.

What's more, the pop star's pet hamster Pac died in March 2013 a few weeks after he gave the animal to a fan outside a performance in Atlanta, Georgia, in December, at the Jingle Ball.
