Lady Gaga is reportedly “beside herself” following a scary incident that ended with her dog walker and friend, Ryan Fischer, hospitalized and two of her beloved pooches dog-napped.
The singer and actress is pet parent to three French Bulldogs – Gustave, Koji and Asia. She’s currently in Italy filming her new movie, Gucci, and Ryan had been watching over her furbabies in Los Angeles.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, on Wednesday (February 24) night, a shooting took place on Sierra Bonita Avenue.
“Two suspects exited the vehicle and demanded the victim turn over the dogs at gunpoint. The victim struggled with the suspects and was shot once by one of the suspects. The suspects took two of the three dogs and fled the scene in the suspect vehicle,” the LAPD’s press release reads.
Ryan was shot – he was in critical condition when he was transported to the hospital but is now, thankfully, recovering. The two suspects were seen fleeing the scene, taking Gustave and Koji with them – Asia managed to escape and was later recovered by the police.
TMZ recently published a video recorded by a neighbor’s security camera and shows the dogwalker being attacked by two men who came out of a white sedan. The suspects took off with two of the French bulldogs. Two neighbors later appeared to help the victim, who had fallen to the ground.
The suspects are still at large and no arrests have been made.
According to multiple reports, Lady Gaga is offering a $500,000 reward for the return of her dogs, Koji and Gustave. Anyone who has the dogs can email [email protected] and claim the reward “no questions asked.”
