sunglasses nyc plaid Lady Gaga peace sign dog leather

Who cares about the fact that Lady Gaga is wearing a plaid dress that barely covers her butt -- just look at her adorable French bulldog puppy!

The pop star left her NYC apartment on Tuesday afternoon, and she held on tight to her new pet as she mingled with fans and posed for photographers. Though Gaga had been relatively inactive on Instagram over the last few months, if you check her page now you'll notice that nearly every single post over the last two weeks is a photo or video of her precious pup.

In late April Gaga's canine companion made her social media debut when Gaga posted a quickie vid and wrote, "Her name is Asia. She is a BATPIG I love her I'm her mom." Gaga posted a photo of Asia on a private plane and added, "Asia on her first flight! She just peed on my Saint-Laurent catsuit. #batpig." A few days later the 28-year-old singer added, "I love my dog so much it's literally an illness."

Gaga may be doting on her doggie, but she's getting plenty of attention too -- from beau Taylor Kinney! We couldn't help but notice him cheekily grab her behind yesterday:
