lady GagaThe dogs were targeted by thieves on Wednesday night … thieves who shot her dog walker and stole 2 of her French Bulldogs … sources from law enforcement tell TMZ, and we are told that Gaga is offering $ 500,000 for the return of her dogs “no questions asked.”
The dog walker had three of Gaga’s Bulldogs outside just before 10pm in Hollywood when one gunman – and possibly more – came upon him. We do not know what was said, but the dog walker was shot and the gunman made the name with two of the dogs. Koji and Gustav.
There are reports that only 2 Bulldogs were walked with one taken and one escaped which was later found, but our law enforcement officials say three dogs were walked and 2 were taken by the gunman. We are told that the 3rd dog ran away, but that he was later recovered.
Gaga was working on a new movie in Rome, and her bodyguard saw her pick up the recovered Bulldog. Sources near Gaga tell us that she is extremely upset and is offering half a million dollars to anyone who has her 2 dogs … again, no questions asked. We are told that anyone who has the dogs can use this email – [email protected] – to get the reward.
The dog walker was brought to the hospital and we are told that he is expected to recover completely.
Law enforcers do not know if the target was Lady Gaga specifically. French Bulldogs are in demand and expensive, and according to our sources, it is possible that the gunman did not know that the dogs were in the possession of Lady Gaga.
The gunman is still at large.
