ABC/Mark LevineIf you’re a Katy Perry fan, you know how much she loves her micro teacup poodle, Nugget.  Well, it turns out that the pooch nearly died a few days ago, but was rescued thanks to the quick thinking of Katy’s assistant, Tamra.

As related on Katy’s Instagram Story, Nugget jumped off the bed and “became unresponsive,” according to Tamra, so she promptly administered CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to the tiny dog. “I pushed on her little chest and I blew in her mouth and I brought her back to life,” Tamra explains on Katy’s Instagram Story.

“Tamra, you’re a hero! You’re a gosh-darn American hero!” Katy gushes. “You blew in her mouth?…Where’d you learn that?”

“On The Dodo,” Tamra said, laughing, referring to the popular website that features cute animal photos and videos. “From a guy who saved a squirrel!” 

Katy added, “You gave her CPR and you pumped on her heart, and she’s alive and well, folks!”

On Katy’s IG story, you can also see a photo of Nugget with a teeny-tiny pink cast on her itty-bitty leg, as well as the original Dodo post showing the guy doing CPR on a squirrel.
