Lady Gaga's father asks for help to catch culprit behind stolen pet dogs

Lady Gaga’s family are trying their best to catch the culprit who shot their dog walker and took the singer’s two French bulldogs.

Speaking on Fox News, Gaga’s father Joe Germanotta spoke over the incident and implored authorities to "help us catch these creeps".

"Shooting someone in order to steal dogs is wrong," he said.

According to Germanotta, the dog walker, who has been identified as Ryan Fischer, is a family "friend".

Meanwhile, the vocal powerhouse shared how she is coping with the ordeal.

"We're just sick over it, it's really horrible," she said to the New York Post.

"It's like someone took one of your kids."

According to People, the robbery, reportedly involving two men, occurred at 11:40 on Wednesday night in which Fischer was shot.

The shooter is said to have used a semi-automatic handgun and was spotted leaving in a vehicle towards Hollywood.

Gaga's rep confirmed that the victim was the singer's dog walker and the two dogs that were stolen were Koji and Gustav.

The superstar, who is currently in Italy, has offered a $500,000 reward for information about the dogs.
