Meet The French Bulldog Pack: Koji, Gustav, and Miss Asia Kinney
Lady Gaga’s three original French Bulldogs are celebrities in their own right, frequently featured on her social media and even accompanying her to high-profile events. The breed itself, the French Bulldog, is a favorite among celebrity owners due to its small size, expressive face, and affectionate nature.
Miss Asia Kinney
Miss Asia Kinney is the eldest and arguably the most famous of the group, often referred to as "Batpig." She has been a fixture in Lady Gaga's life for years and even served as the inspiration and face for an upcoming pet line, demonstrating her status as a true celebrity pet.
Koji and Gustav
Koji and Gustav are the two male French Bulldogs who were tragically stolen in the 2021 dognapping. They are often seen together in photos, showcasing the playful and loving nature of the breed. Their abduction brought international attention to the dangers of pet theft and the high value placed on purebred French Bulldogs.
The 2021 Dognapping and Ryan Fischer’s Heroism
The harrowing events of February 2021 placed Lady Gaga's dogs at the center of a global news story. The incident occurred in Hollywood when the singer’s dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was out walking Koji, Gustav, and Miss Asia Kinney.
The Violent Attack
Two assailants ambushed Fischer, struggling with him before one of them pulled a gun and shot him in the chest. The thieves then fled with Koji and Gustav, leaving the injured Fischer and the third dog, Miss Asia, who managed to evade capture.
Lady Gaga’s Plea and The $500,000 Reward
At the time, Lady Gaga was filming in Rome. She immediately offered a staggering $500,000 reward for the safe return of her "beloved dogs," no questions asked. Fischer was rushed to the hospital and, thankfully, made a significant recovery, with Gaga calling him a "hero" for fighting to protect her dogs.
Legal Resolution and The Reward Controversy (2025 Update)
The dogs were eventually returned safely to the police by a woman named Jennifer McBride. However, recent legal updates in 2025 confirmed a judge’s ruling that McBride could not claim the reward. This was because she was later implicated in the crime, having been in a relationship with the father of one of the dognappers and charged as an accessory after the fact. This ruling underscores the complexity and criminal intent behind the high-profile pet theft.
A New Chapter: The Mystery of The New French Bulldog Puppy
In a heartwarming turn of events that signals a new, positive chapter for the family, Lady Gaga introduced a new addition to her French Bulldog pack in late 2024, approximately three years after the traumatic dognapping incident.
The Blue Tan Puppy
The singer shared glimpses of the adorable new puppy, a beautiful blue tan French Bulldog, on her social media platforms, including TikTok. This new dog joins the now-safe Koji, Gustav, and Miss Asia Kinney, expanding the pop star’s family of celebrity Frenchies.
The Unrevealed Name
As of December 2025, the name of the precious new pup has not yet been officially revealed by Lady Gaga. This detail has sparked significant curiosity among her fans and the wider celebrity pet community, who are eagerly awaiting the name of the latest member of the "Mother Monster’s" inner circle. The addition of the puppy is seen as a symbol of healing and moving forward after the violence of the past.
The Enduring Legacy of Lady Gaga’s Celebrity Frenchies
The story of Lady Gaga’s dogs—the dognapping, the shooting of Ryan Fischer, the legal fallout, and the welcoming of a new puppy—has cemented their place in pop culture history. This narrative highlights not only the singer's deep love for her pets but also the serious criminal activity surrounding highly-sought-after breeds like the French Bulldog.
From Miss Asia Kinney’s upcoming pet line venture to the resilience shown by Koji and Gustav, these celebrity dogs continue to capture the public's imagination. As Lady Gaga continues her career, her French Bulldogs remain a constant, loving presence, proving that for this global superstar, the bond with her canine companions is truly unbreakable.
