Joe Germanotta, Lady Gaga’s father, speaks after incident with stolen dogs

“We expect an act of kindness so that we can rescue the dogs,” Germanotta told CNN by phone on Friday morning. “We are upset with [the dog walker]. It is very terrible that someone would shoot someone to steal some dogs. Hopefully, they will be captured so that we can bring the dogs back safely. “

The dog walker was not publicly identified. He is a close friend of Lady Gaga, according to his father, and is in critical condition, Los Angeles Police Department official Mike Lopez told CNN.

LAPD detectives, according to Lopez, are analyzing surveillance footage showing two individuals attacking the dog walker, opening fire and fleeing the scene with two of the singer’s dogs, named Koji and Gustav.

One man is seen arresting the victim, while the other appears to point a gun. When a shot is fired, the victim is seen falling backwards as the men run back to the car.

The investigation is ongoing.

On Thursday, a source close to the singer told CNN that she “is offering half a million dollars to anyone who has her two dogs, no questions asked. Anyone who has the dogs can use this email KojiandGustav @ gmail. com to recover the reward. “

The source added that the singer’s dog walker is happily “recovering well”.

CNN sought out representatives of Lady Gaga for further comment.
