Mickey Rourke's beloved Chihuahua has died just days before the actor hopes to crown his own professional resurrection at Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony.
Loki the Chihuahua, 18, who accompanied "The Wrestler" star to the Venice Film Festival in September 2008, died on Monday night, Rourke's representative.
Rourke, 56, famously thanked his dogs -- past and present -- in an emotional speech at the Golden Globes in January when he won the best actor award for his comeback role in "The Wrestler" after years in the acting wilderness.
"Sometimes, when a man is alone, that's all you got is your dog. And they've meant the world to me," he said in his acceptance speech.

I'm sorry for him. It looks like he really loved his dog.
Yeah, otherwise, he wouldn't wrap it up in that little hoodie. Really sweet.
OMG how sad!
