Lady Gaga’s dog walker was shot and her two French bulldogs, Gustav and Koji, were stolen on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
Rolling Stone has confirmed that Gaga is offering a half-million-dollar reward to anyone who can help her retrieve her two dogs; any information should be sent to the email KojiandGustav@gmail.com.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department (via CNN), the dog walker was shot before 10:00 p.m. local time in Hollywood. The male suspect in the shooting took the two dogs from the victim, shot him using a semi-automatic handgun, and fled the scene in a white sedan. The dog walker was transported to the hospital, where he is recovering well. The investigation into the suspect is ongoing.
The LAPD did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.
Last month, Lady Gaga performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the inauguration for President Joe Biden in Washington, D.C. She released her latest album Chromatica in 2020 and published her new anthology book Channel Kindness: Stories of Kindness and Community the same year.
