The dogs were targeted by thieves Wednesday night who shot her dog walker and stole a pair her French Bulldogs.

The dog walker had three of Gaga’s Bulldogs out in Hollywood just before 10 PM when one gunman — and possibly more — came upon him. We don’t know what was said, but the dog walker was shot and the gunman made off with 2 of the dogs, , according to TMZ.

There are reports there were only 2 Bulldogs being walked with one taken and one escaped that was later found, but our law enforcement sources tell us 3 dogs were being walked and 2 were taken by the gunman. We’re told the 3rd dog had run away but was later recovered.

Gaga’s, whose real name is, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, has been in Rome working on a new movie. Her bodyguard was seen picking up the recovered bulldog. Sources close to Gaga tell us she’s extremely upset and is offering a half-a-million dollars to anyone who has her 2 dogs.

Law enforcement does not know if the target was Lady Gaga’s dogs specifically. French Bulldogs are in demand and expensive, so our sources say it’s possible the gunman did not know the dogs were owned by Lady Gaga.

The dog walker was taken to the hospital. He is expected to make a full recovery.

The gunman is still on the loose.
