The 36-year-old, who was in the capital today to launch a new range of dog food 'Pedigree Senior', joked about his experience of owning a dog after having pets ranging from rabbits to guniea pigs.
"I have finally got a dog, its name is Ginger and my son (Preston Charles Lee) just loves him," said the affable Australian, while launching the Mars India's International's latest product.
"When you have a six month old puppy running around all over your house, it keeps you on your toes. He is fast like Usain Bolt. So it's hard work but I am enjoying it," said Lee with the trademark smile on his face.
"I have had rabbits, guinea pigs, all kinds of birds as pets while growing up and now I have a dog also," he said.
