Zulkaif Chaudhary, 33, from Multan city, Pakistan, bought the cub six months ago, and has let the lion have free rein of his home.
Babbar the lion already weighs more than 168 lbs (76kg) and wolfs down 17lb (7.7kg) of raw meat every day.
Babbar has his own king-size bed with double mattress and air conditioning.
Despite having a two-year-old son, he says he'll never chain the lion who he treats like a dog.
Mr Chaudhary said: 'He is like my child, He was two months old when I got him. He has been living with me for six months.
I'm not worried that he will attack us. Even my son comes to play with it.
His home is now filled with family and friends who come to take a selfie with his unusual pet.
He added: 'I cannot tell you from where I bought him but I have the permission to keep him and the wildlife officials knows about him.
'He is growing up really fast. I feed him mutton, beef, and also chicken sometimes.
'He costs £2400 each month to feed.'
He boasted: 'He is very friendly and is fond of me. He plays with me and I take him on walk in the morning 5 to 6 am.
'I'm teaching him commands to sit, go and eat just like a pet dog.'
'Babbar is very friendly with humans and they all enjoy playing with him.'
