Lady Gaga is reeling after armed thieves shot her dog walker and stole two of her beloved pets, an insider tells Us Weekly exclusively.
"Gaga is beside herself. She is hoping and praying for the safe return of Koji and Gustav and for the speedy recovery of their walker, who is doing as well as can be expected given the circumstances", the source says of the 34-year-old New York native.
The "Shallow" singer is offering a $500,000 reward to anyone who safely returns her dogs. She is asking that all tips be sent to KojiandGustav@gmail.com.
