The Oscar-winning actress shared a sweet video with dramatic makeup and black hair, petting a dog that looks like a two-month-old Frenchie puppy. In the caption, she used a snowflake emoji, which could be a hint as to what she planned to name the cute pup.

The Joker: Foil for Two Star used her new song with Bruno Mars“Die With A Smile” as the soundtrack, which she sings along to. She confirmed in the caption that the puppy is a new family member and replied in the comments: “Our new queen” on Dylan Mulvaney, who said they had to meet her.

Lady Gaga's dog kidnapping incident

Lady Gaga experienced every pet owner’s nightmare when two of her three French bulldogs, Koji and Gustav, were kidnapped in February 2021. Their handler, Ryan Fisher was shot and taken to the hospital with life-threatening gunshot wounds. The third dog, Miss Asia, ran away during the incident and was later found by police.

The Oscar-winning actress was in Italy filming “House of Gucci” at the time and offered a $500,000 reward with no questions asked. Three days later, a woman named Jennifer McBride called Los Angeles police to report that she had found the dogs tied to a post in an alley, miles from where they had been stolen. At first, police thought McBride was just a Good Samaritan, but they soon became suspicious and advised the pop star not to pay the reward, according to TMZ.

The LAPD announced on Thursday, April 29, that a total of five people had been arrested in connection with the case, including McBride.

Those arrested in connection with the dog kidnapping received different sentences. James Jackson, who shot Ryan Fischer, was sentenced to 21 years in prison after pleading not guilty to attempted murder. Jaylin White was sentenced to four years in prison for his involvement after pleading not guilty to charges related to the dog kidnapping. Lafayette Whaley, who acted as the getaway driver, was sentenced to six years in prison as part of a plea deal. Harold White, Jaylin's father, was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading not guilty to a charge of being an ex-convict in possession of a firearm. Jennifer McBride, who returned the dogs, was sentenced to two years probation after pleading not guilty to a charge of receiving stolen property.
