Lady Gaga’s two stolen bulldogs, abducted at gunpoint in Hollywood earlier this week, were turned over to a Los Angeles police station on Friday and have been “reunited” with the pop singer’s representatives, a police spokesman said.
The pop superstar had offered a $500,000 reward for the return of her French Bulldogs, Koji and Gustav, stolen in a violent altercation in Los Angeles that left a man fighting for his life, police and a source close to the singer said Thursday.
Gaga, who was in Rome filming a movie when the dogs were stolen, has not commented personally on the theft. However, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that two French Bulldogs were stolen at gunpoint from a 30-year-old man on Sierra Bonita Avenue in Hollywood Wednesday night.
The man, identified in multiple media reports as the singer’s dogwalker, was shot with a semi-automatic handgun and remains in critical condition, the LAPD said.
A third dog, Miss Asia, escaped and was later recovered.
