Katy Perry juuuust wanted to share a cute snap of her dog, but later found that she had ruined the rest of her day. (Well, probably her assistant's day, but whatever.) Posting an Instagram and tweet of a picture of her dog Butters, the star accidentally included his dog tag in the shot—which had her phone number on it.

Having shared the now-deleted shot with 70 million Twitter followers and 16 million Instagram followers, she was immediately inundated with concerned fans just trying to help her out.
