Lady Gaga's Dog Walker Shot
In the News
What is the world coming to! That someone thinks it worth shooting someone four times to steal her dogs
There have been a lot of dog theft stories in the news lately, but I think this is the worst one I've seen. I hope the dog walker will be okay, it sounds like he's in a bad way.
Trouble is, I've just read that she's offered half a million dollars for their safe return, no questions asked.
People have been shot and killed for much, much less.
Unless it's a trap to catch these criminals, she has just put a big target on her and her staff's heads as anyone wanting a quick buck will think they can do the same. Hopefully she is going to look after the dog walker as medical care in America is so expensive.
In my opinion she should have offered the money to anyone giving info leading to their arrest. Someone was shot for goodness sake. I know people love their dogs but is his life worth less.
Imnotcheap it's so bad, giving the message 'go grab a rich guy's dog and they will pay more to get it back than what you can sell it for, also no questions asked so you can get away with it and do it again and again'.
I know people steal pedigree dogs but why try to murder a dog walker? Lady Gaga will encourage others to steal after offering 1/2 million $.
Did you see the pictures of the suspects? They look like a right pair of drug addicted losers. They hold other people's lives as cheap as their own.
I read this earlier, it is crazy what length people will go to. Seems very extreme for a dog theft
Im sure the shooter/thief would have known what they where doing and planned on holding the dogs to ransom. Gaga has played right into there hands by offering a reward. Just hope the police can catch them. Bet the reward is paid in bitcoin and the dogs are found in a park somewhere
What is the world coming too? I agree with Lynibis she should offer the reward to those who help catch those responsible. Maybe a step further offer half as a reward and the other donated to an animal rescue centre. Unfortunately there are also a lot of abandoned pets as the owners can not afford to look after them having lost their jobs due to COVID.
It works me as my daughter usually walks a neighbour's dog I've told her someone will have to go with her when she starts again
Doggos have now been handed into the police.
BBC News - Lady Gaga's dogs found safe after armed robbery
I saw in the news today that the dog walker is expected to make a full recovery, and the dogs have been found. Hope they catch the guys responsible for this.
Police have arrested 5 people in connection with this dognapping case. Four of them are known gang members, but it appears they didn't know Lady Gaga owned the dogs, but did know the value of the dog breed. Given the length of prison sentences in America they could be going away for a long time if convicted - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56938268
