Katy Perry Calls Her Assistant ‘Hero’ for Bringing Her Dog Nugget Back to Life

There’s a new hero in Katy Perry’s life.

The American Idol judge opened up on her Instagram Story about a scary experience that almost cost her beloved micro teacup poodle Nugget’s life. Perry revealed that her assistant, Tamra, had to give the pup CPR and dubbed her a “hero.”

Tamara recounted little Nugget’s brush with death, explaining, “Nugget jumped and fell off the bed and became unresponsive and I gave her CPR. I pushed on her little chest and blew in her mouth and I brought her back to life.”

Perry’s assistant went on to demonstrate how she saved Nugget with doggy CPR, and we can’t get over how tiny she is.

In another video, the “Swish Swish” singer explained that her pup blacked out for three minutes before coming to.

Following the incident, Perry and Nugget headed over to the vet, where the pooch got an IV and an X-ray.

We’re wishing the little nugget a speedy recovery (and really wondering how high that bed was).
