Lady Gaga’s two French bulldogs, stolen by thieves who shot and wounded the dog walker, were recovered unharmed Friday, Los Angeles police said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Lady Gaga’s two French bulldogs, stolen by thieves who shot and wounded their hiker, were recovered unharmed Friday, Los Angeles police said.
A woman brought the dogs to the LAPD’s Olympic Community Police Station, just northwest of downtown, around 6 p.m.
Lady Gaga’s representative and detectives went to the station and confirmed that it was the dogs, Tippet said.
The singer is currently in Rome to film a movie.
The woman who dropped off the dogs appeared to be ‘uninvolved and unrelated’ to the attack on Wednesday night, Tippet said.
In a tweet Friday night, the LAPD said the woman found the dogs “and reached out to Lady Gaga’s staff to return them.”
Her identity and the place where the dogs were found will not be disclosed for the sake of her safety and due to the ongoing investigation, the LAPD said.
The dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was shot once while walking three of the singer’s dogs in Hollywood. The video showed a white sedan pulling up and two men jumping out. They struggled with the dog walker before one pulled a gun and fired a single shot before fleeing with two of the dogs. The third escaped and has since been reunited with Lady Gaga’s representatives.
The dog walker can be heard on the video saying he was shot in the chest. He is expected to survive his injuries, Tippet said.
‘I still love you Ryan Fischer, you risked your life to fight for our family. You’re a hero forever, ‘Lady Gaga said in an Instagram post.
Lady Gaga on Friday reiterated her $ 500,000 reward offer for the return of her dogs – whose names are Koji and Gustav – without question. Tippet said since police were not involved in the reward, he did not know if the woman would receive it.
