lady Gaga was perhaps the target of criminals who shot her dog walker and stole 2 of her French Bulldogs, law enforcement told TMZ.
We are told that the LAPD is seriously looking into the possibility that the shooter / thieves knew that the dogs were owned by Gaga, and that the video obtained by TMZ supports more than the theory.

If you look closely, the car coming down on dog walker Ryan Fischer was clear is on his way to him. The car stops and two people immediately jump out and attack the dog walker. There is no way they would immediately know that these dogs are a valuable breed … they are small and it was dark outside. The dogs could easily have been rescues, mixed breeds, a less valuable breed … these criminals practically knew.
What’s more, according to our law enforcement sources, Ryan Fischer has told numerous people in the area that he walks with Gaga’s dogs, so many people knew.
As far as we know, it was supposed to be a short walk – 10pm at night so the dogs could go poop and pee. It’s not like the robbers could follow Ryan from a long distance … if they were indeed targeting Gaga’s dogs, they could have taken him away in the days before to determine his walking schedule.
As for the $ 500,000 ransom Gaga presents … sources with direct knowledge tell that TMZ has so far had no contact with the singer or her representatives.
Which makes the matter even more difficult … we are told that the dogs were not hacked.
