Biebs gives away his sick dog

JUSTIN Bieber should never be allowed near animals again. This time, the short-attention-stricken singer appears to have palmed off his sick dog on a friend, who’s now trying to scrounge up $8,000 for a lifesaving operation for the puppy. In August last year, Bieber proudly introduced his “new little fluff ball Todd” to his fans on Instagram. Later he posted a video of the preternaturally fluffy animal, wondering adoringly, “How are you real?” However, the infatuation has passed. It seems that Bieber — who has previously adopted and then dismissed a monkey, a hamster and a snake — has given the dog to one of his dancers, CJ Salvador. It gets worse for Todd. Salvador has created a GoFundMe page for the luckless mutt, explaining that the pooch “is a 7-month-old chow chow born with a birth defect called ‘sever hip dysplacia.’ [sic] Long story short, by the time he turns 1, he won’t be able to walk, run, let alone play.” Salvador says that Todd can either be put down or have a “very specialized surgery.” “So I am humbley [sic] asking you to donate anything,” he writes. The fund-raising goal of $8,000 has been met, and the count is now up to over $8,600. After this story was published online, Salvador wrote on Facebook that his family had “adopted” the dog and that he “did not ask [Bieber] for money because he has nothing to do with the situation,” because the defect had only been discovered after they took the dog in. Forbes estimates that Bieber made $56 million in 2016. A rep for Bieber didn’t get back to us.
