I feel as if we're not talking enough about Lady Gaga's dog walker

[artradley]

I've only seen a couple of brief mentions about her dog walker getting shot, the brief video of the incident, and her reward offer for the return of the dogs; which apparently have since been returned. But a couple of things I find interesting.

First, in the video there is high-pitched screeching coming from the dog walker, who I assumed was a woman. But it turns out it was a guy. Screaming like a high school girl. This deserves some recognition.

Second, Gaga immediately offered a $500k "no questions asked" reward for the return of the dogs. Now, the dog walker got shot. Got shot! What did he think about this? Don't you think he would have at least wanted the cops to ask some questions? Can Lady Gaga dismiss someones' shooting because her dogs were involved?

These are subjects that should be discussed.

Just a bizarre story.

and yes, the screaming was a bit much

also would love to bone Gaga

 

[runkpanole]

Haven’t read the story, but she offered $500 K for the return of her dogs, but no mention of finding the shooter?

 

[HawkOptimist]

Couldn’t she just go down to the local pound and get a few new dogs for free and save the $500k?

 

[billanole]

Couldn’t she just go down to the local pound and get a few new dogs for free and save the $500k?

... and get a referral for a new dog walker. Two solutions, one stop.

No questions asked.

 

[ericram]

So does the person who "found" and returned the dogs get the cash?

Sounds like it

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Gaga immediately offered a $500k "no questions asked" reward for the return of the dogs.

She was initially thinking of a pair of $250K rewards - one for getting the dogs back and one for catching the shooter. But then she checked her priorities.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

If we assume the dog-nappers were going to ask for ransom, I wonder how much they would have asked for?

Did LG bid against herself?

 

[hawkosx]

Where does LG live and when do her dogs get their walk?

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Ha!

They probably have embedded GPS units by now.

He’ll live. Gotta focus on what’s important.

 

[SWIowahawks]

“They shot me in my right heart”. I couldn’t help but laugh.

 

[Moral]

I would have returned the dogs for 450k. She is just throwing money away.

Art, I can't believe you are being so "Shallow." When asked about the high pitched scream, the dog walker responded I can't help it I was "Born this Way." The shooter/dog napper was a "Monster." "You and I" probably would have focused more on the dog walker, but apparently Gaga has a "Million Reasons" why chose to use her "Poker Face" with regard to his injuries.

Seriously it's a weird story and I agree there hasn't been much reporting focused on the dog walker being shot. There is probably more to the story than we will ever know.

Thread title reads as a statement I wouldn't expect to hear from an over 50 y/o man with a family.

She did a great job at singing the national anthem at the SB. Probably on par with Whitney’s as the best ever. I mildly agreed to watch the Netflix documentary on her when the wife suggested it. Glad I did. Let’s just see you get to see a LOT of Gaga. She’s not shy, nor should she be.

 

[hawkeye54545]

Here's the thing about celebs. They do a lot of good for groups of people. Charity and such things. They smile for causes and large gatherings and can be extremely pleasant in these settings.

Individual people they treat like pawns that are there only for their convenience. They are rude and surely toward such peons.

 

[BelemNole]

What?

No pics?

Surely you jest.

I’m sure there are screen grabs out there. I like you people too much to post them and get the banhammer. Happy hunting!

 

[ConvenientParking]

Man I never thought to steal a rich woman's dog. That's so much smarter than kidnapping. If caught, you'll get maybe 2 years and serve 1.

 

[JupiterHawk]

Shot four times. Damn. I think the reward/ransom was a bit excessive but those French bulldogs are expensive.

So did you like this version by Lady Gaga

better than this version by Lady Gaga?

Don't call him Shirley.

Apparently this is a thing:

It seems dog thefts are sweeping the country as the demand for pets has surged during the pandemic. One San Francisco woman’s beloved French bulldog, Chloe, was stolen at gunpoint.
Sarah Vorhaus’s face is still bruised after being jumped by three men outside her apartment at 5:45 p.m. while walking her dog.
"I heard a man's voice behind me that said 'Give me your dog,' and I turned around and I saw he had a gun held up," Vorhaus said.
Surveillance footage shows the men run to a getaway car after the violent attack.

Where does LG live and when do her dogs get their walk?

If memory serves, she lives in Beverly Hills and the incident took place around 9:30 in the evening.

They have a video of the top half of the car and sort of a video of the whole affair. My guess is that this will be resolved/solved. I cannot imagine a car going into and leaving Beverly Hills without multiple videos being taken.

The dog walker himself is supposed to be a long-time friend of hers and her initial commentary included worry about him more than about the dogs.

What is the acceptable level of screaming after a violent assault in which you are shot four times?

 

[artradley]

What is the acceptable level of screaming after a violent assault in which you are shot four times?

From a man? Only deep cursing. Not high pitched screaming.

 

[runkpanole]

You’re supposed to scream like a man when bullets are being unloaded into you.

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

Why have a dog if you have to hire someone else to take care of it?

Why have a kid if you have to hire someone else to nanny it?

It's not a pool, ferchrissakes.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

I'd walk her dawgs.

 

[BubsFinn]

Yeah, offering to pay a half a mil to someone who shot a person who works for her isn't a good look.

Wasn’t talking about Lady GaGa!

Got it. Manly curses and promises of revenge.

Exactly. Like Stephen in Django Unchained.

I have never been shot, but that eerily sounds just like me when I walk into a banana spider web in the woods and I can feel the hand sized arachnid scampering on my head/neck/face right before I beat myself unconscious.
