    Fast forward to now, and Gaga is showing off her adorable new pup in style.

    In a recent TikTok video, she was seen lip-syncing to her new duet with Bruno Mars—Die with a Smile—all while cradling a tiny, undeniably cute black French Bulldog.

    “If the world was ending, I’d wanna be next to you,” the Bad Romance singer mouthed the lyrics while giving fans a sneak peek of her new four-legged companion.

    The singer kept some mystery alive by not revealing the pup’s name.

    Fans agreed that it was hard not to fall in love with the little pupper.

    “NEW DOG TO THE FAMILY THIS IS BIG,” said one comment, while another said, “The doggy is so cute 🥺.”

    “Our new Queen 🐶,” Gaga replied to one of the comments on the video

    A fourth said, “Lady Gaga & Puppy Gaga 😭❤️.”

    “Need to meet them immediately 🐶,” read a comment from social media star Dylan Mulvaney, to which the singer replied, “Our new Queen 🐶.”

    The hitmaker’s love for her pet dogs is well-known to her fans. She has often shared pictures of her tail-wagging friends on Instagram over the years.

    She offered a $500,000 reward in February 2021 after her two sweet Frenchies were stolen in what the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office called “a cold-hearted violent act.”

    The dog walker bravely tried to protect the pups and was left critically injured after being shot in the horrifying incident.

    The dognappers managed to steal Koji and Gustav while Miss Asia ran away and was later found by cops.

    The heartbroken singer later wrote a plea on Instagram, hoping for the safe return of her beloved pets.

    “My beloved dogs Koji and Gustav were taken in Hollywood two nights ago,” she wrote. “My heart is sick and I am praying my family will be whole again with an act of kindness. I will pay $500,000 for their safe return.”

    The singer famously offered a $500,000 reward for the safe return of her stolen dogs, who were later recovered

    “I continue to love you Ryan Fischer, you risked your life to fight for our family. You’re forever a hero,” she added.

    A woman named Jennifer McBride returned the dogs a couple of days after the A Star is Born actress offered the $500,000 reward.

    Following court proceedings, Jennifer and four others were arrested and charged with being an accessory to attempted murder, while suspect James Howard Jackson was sentenced to 21 years in prison for attempted murder.

    Jennifer had also attempted to sue the Hollywood star over the hefty reward she promised for the dogs’ return. However, the judge ruled that Gaga did not have to pay the amount.

    In the ruling, the judge said Jennifer was “not entitled to thereafter benefit from their wrongdoing by seeking to enforce the contract.”

    I wish she would choose a non-brachycephalic breed to love and adopt, as others will want Frenchies just because Lady Gaga has Frenchies. Brachycephalic breeds are NOT healthy and they can suffer with breathing problems, eye problems, and dental problems their entire life. It's also not possible for the majority of them to be born naturally - over 80% of French Bulldog females require caesarian section to have their puppies, as they CANNOT give birth naturally. That is NOT OKAY. Lady Gaga has the money to give her pups the best medical care, I suppose, but Frenchies still suffer from so many congenital issues due to their brachycephalic skull. I can understand her love for Frenchies, I just personally wish she would be vocal about improving the overall health of the breed.
