Good morning,
Lady Gaga’s dog walker was shot and her two French bulldogs were stolen in a targeted theft on Wednesday night. The theft happened after the walker took Gaga’s three dogs out for an evening stroll. According to a report by TMZ, only two of the three were stolen by one or more gunmen.
The singer and actress is in Italy working on an upcoming film, leaving her bulldogs with her bodyguards back in the U.S. Additionally, Gaga is offering half a million dollars, no questions asked, for the safe return of her dogs, Koji and Gustav.
Police said the attacker used a semi-automatic handgun before fleeing with the two French bulldogs, leaving the dog walker, who was shot twice. The walker is in stable condition at a local hospital. Those with information regarding the status of the singer’s dogs can email Kojiandgustav@gmail.com.
