Lady Gaga’s dogs were stolen in a robbery earlier this week, and her dog walker was shot.
This news was originally reported by People Magazine. As this story just broke, there is not much other details known at the time of this writing.
This robbery happened on Sierra Bonita Avenue in Hollywood on Wednesday night around 9:40 p.m. PT, a spokesperson with the Los Angeles Police Department told People.
The dog walker was transported to a hospital with his condition unknown at the moment, and Lady Gaga’s French Bulldogs Koji and Gustav were kidnapped.
Lady Gaga’s dogs stolen in robbery Wednesday night.
A representative for the singer (born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) told People there is a $500,000 reward for information about the Frenchies, which can be emailed to KojiAndGustav@gmail.com.
Gustav was adopted in 2016, according to an Instagram post, and it is unknown when Koji was added to the singer’s family.
“I’m proud to announce a new member of the #JOANNE family,” she captioned the post at the time, adding that a childhood friend bought a littermate and they didn’t want the puppies to be separated.
Lady Gaga is well-known as a pop singer/songwriter, releasing five albums to date: Fame (2008), Born This Way (2011), Artpop (2013), Cheek to Cheek (2014), Joanne (2016) and Chromatica (2020).
While she is primarily known for her vocals and long history of eccentric outfits, she also is an actress as well, starring in the 2018 version of A Star is Born with Bradley Cooper, also appearing in Machete Kills and the Frank Miller graphic novel adaptation of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
She is also well-known for being an LGBT advocate, and recently appeared singing the National Anthem during the inauguration of President Joe Biden in January in a Hunger Games-inspired getup.
We hope Koji and Gustav are recovered safely, and that her dog walker is not seriously injured and heals quickly.
