Lady Gaga has offered a $500,000 reward for the return of two of her French bulldogs after they were stolen by a gunman who shot her dog walker four times in the chest in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
Ryan Fischer was ambushed outside his home on West Hollywood's Sierra Bonita Avenue as he walked Gaga's dogs Koji, Miss Asia, and Gustav just before 10pm yesterday.
The attacker then fled with two of the dogs, Koji and Gustav, while Miss Asia managed to get away.
Police arrived to the scene to find Fischer seriously hurt, but conscious and communicative.
Video captured by KABC showed Fischer lying on the sidewalk and clinging to Miss Asia as first responders treat him.
The 30-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital and is now said to be 'recovering well'.
It's unclear whether the thieves knew the dogs belonged to Gaga. However, French bulldogs are in high demand and sell for anywhere between $3,000-$5,000. Those with pedigree lineage can also go for as much as $10,000.
Gaga, 34, is said to be distraught over the incident and is offering a $500,000 reward for the return of Koji and Gustav 'no questions asked', TMZ reported.

I think she is a very talented lady and a lovely person (unlike most so called 'stars' of today), I just hope this violent bastard is caught very quickly and his victim swiftly recovers.

Putting up a half million dollar no questions asked reward is foolhardy. It's an invitation for other nutters to shoot anyone who owns valuable pets and hold them for ransom.

Exactly. She's been criticised for giving a shit about her dog walker.
All this dog theft is getting out of hand. I blame not only the unscrupulous breeders but the fucking idiots who pay that much.

More money than sense springs to mind.

Exactly. Any reward should be for solving the crime. Not returning two dogs.
But so many younger people value animals more than human life anymore.
What the fuck is the world coming to?
