JoJo revealed what had happened to her little pup on TikTok.
The short clip showed herself and Tooie, dancing along as The Black Eyed Peas' hit-track 'Boom Boom Pow' played on in the background.
The dancer can be seen lip-syncing to the tune, as she moves Tooie's paws to mimic dancing, and ends the video planting a big kiss on his forehead.
The overlay text on the TikTok read: "Going to miss this sweet little boy so much," accompanied with a broken heart emoji.
She went on to explain the situation a little further in the caption, writing: "2 months ago our puppy Tooie (O2) joined our family and he brought the MOST joy, laughter, and messes into our life."
JoJo went on to add: "My heart hurts so much to say that this morning he was involved in an accident and is now in puppy heaven."
"I can’t even explain how perfect of a dog O2 was. Going to miss him more than words can explain," she continued.
JoJo then thanked her beloved pet for the brief but loving time they spent together before he passed.
She concluded: "Thank you for bringing light to my life when it was dark Tooie boy. See you one day. Rest in peace my lil sweet boy," with a crying emoji and another broken heart emoji.
The 'Boomerang' singer also took to Snapchat to open up some more on the matter.
She said she felt 'really numb' after her mom revealed the heartbreaking news to her.
"There was an accident with him this morning and it’s nothing that anybody could have done anything to prevent, so it’s no one’s fault," she explained.
"He hopefully didn’t suffer - I feel like it was pretty quick."
She went on to tell her fans: "He’s the first puppy that I’ve ever lost that I’ve been really devastated by because I’ve been close to him.
"Our other dogs that have passed away I wasn’t really close to and they were dogs that liked to do their own thing and don’t really like humans, but Tooie was a family boy."
