Lady Gaga’s two dogs were stolen while out on a walk with their dog walker who was shot in a robbery on Wednesday. The dog walker is currently in hospital and the dogs have still not been found.

The singer, who is currently in Italy for work, offered a reward of $500,000 for any information after she heard the news about her two French Bulldogs, Koji and Gustav.

In 2016, Gaga adopted Gustav and added him to her family of canines. She posted a picture back then with her other four legged friends meeting their new family member.

She captioned the pic: “I’m proud to announce we added a new member to the #JOANNE family. I haven’t named him yet but I call him both cowpig and moopig in the meantime!”

The caption continued: “I chose him last moment because my best friend since I was 4 @booconnor Chef extraordinaire of @thepomeroynyc bought him, we didn’t want them to be separated!”
