Lady Gaga offers $500,000 for return of dogs after thief steals them, shoots dog walker

Los Angeles police are searching for the shooter, who they said used a semiautomatic gun and sped from the scene in a white vehicle.

Lady Gaga is offering $500,000 for the return of her two French bulldogs after someone stole them and shot the man who walked her dogs Wednesday evening in Hollywood, according to two sources of the Oscar- and Grammy-winning singer.

The dogs' names are Koji and Gustav.

The sources said the pop star "is offering half-a-million dollars to anyone who has her 2 dogs, no questions asked. Anyone who has the dogs can use this email — [email protected] — to retrieve the reward."

According to Los Angeles police, the victim was walking the dogs when an unknown male shot him about 9:40 p.m. local time in the 1500 block of North Sierra Bonita Avenue. The dog walker was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, police said.

He was "recovering well," according to the sources close to Gaga.
