Gaga’s adoption of her new pup comes three years after her three dogs were kidnapped. In 2021, Gaga’s dog walker was hospitalized after being shot by two men while walking her dogs in West Hollywood.

The men stole her two French bulldogs Koji and Gustav, and Gaga offered a $500,000 reward for the return of her pooches. (Her third dog, Miss Asia, was recovered by the police.)

“Gaga is beside herself,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly after the armed robbery. “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.”

Two years after the incident, McBride sued Gaga for the reward and $1.5 million in damages. McBride’s lawyers claimed that Gaga committed fraud and a breach of contract because she noted there would be “no questions asked” when she offered the money.

A judge ultimately ruled that Gaga did not owe McBride the reward. A court order from the Los Angeles County Superior Court stated McBride’s lawsuit was “legally insufficient in its entirety” because she was involved in the incident.

McBride pleaded no contest to the charges and claimed she wasn’t involved in the theft. Instead, she alleged she “took possession” of the dogs before returning them to the Los Angeles police station. Gaga’s legal team noted this “makes no sense.”
