Singer Justin Bieber has reportedly been accused by a dog trainer for abandoning his pet dog Karma.
According to reports by The Sun, trainer Trevor Dvernichuk said the 20-year-old singer left his American bulldog puppy with him in February but hasn't returned to collect her, reports mirror.co.uk.
"This is like taking your kid to school and not picking it back up," he said.
However, it's been revealed that it wasn't Bieber's dog. It belongs to his father, Jeremy, and Bieber had bought it as a gift for his family.
Dvernichuk was originally asked to take care of the puppy for a few weeks, so he could train her before Bieber assumed responsibility for her once more.
The trainer says that he had tried calling Bieber to come and get Karma, but hasn't heard back from him.
Bieber got Karma around Christmas 2013.
