Bieber thanks fans for pup’s name

December 30, 2013

Justin Bieber has thanked his fans for helping him to name his seven-week-old puppy.

Bieber settled on the name after his father, Jeremy Bieber, offered the star’s fans the chance to name the puppy on Twitter.

Bieber settled on the name "Karma" and took to Twitter to thank the fan who suggested it.

"So we have got a name selected for the newest Bieber. Big thanks to @justinfredos the Belieber who chose it ‘Karma’ (sic)".

Bieber later tweeted that the American bulldog puppy was "a lil biter lol (sic)".

The Canadian singer is currently spending time with his family in Canada.

Earlier this month he said that he would be retiring. His manager has since dismissed the retirement talk with Bieber hinting that he wasn’t quite ready to give up his singing career.

"Blessed to do what I love. Thanks for always showing support and making me smile," Bieber said in a tweet.
