Lady Gaga’s Stolen dogs have been found and reunited with the singer, after she announced a $500,000 reward for the stolen French bulldogs. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the latest development on Friday.
According to reports, Lady Gaga’s stolen dogs were returned by a woman who brought the dogs into a Los Angeles police station at around 6pm local time on Friday, after a dog walker was shot and wounded earlier in the week.
The news comes hours after Lady Gaga herself posted a message on her social media handle, announcing the $500,000 reward for the stolen dogs. She posted a series of photos of the dogs with this message that reads:
“My beloved dogs Koji and Gustav were taken in Hollywood two nights ago. 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. Email KojiandGustav@gmail.com to contact us,” she said.
A representative for Lady Gaga, who is currently in Rome making a film, and detectives went to the station and confirmed that they were her dogs.
The woman who dropped off the dogs appeared to be “uninvolved and unassociated” with Wednesday night’s attack, according to Captain Jonathan Tippet, commanding officer of the department’s elite robbery-homicide division.
The woman’s identity and where Lady Gaga’s stolen dogs, named Koji and Gustav, were found remain undisclosed because of the ongoing investigation into the shooting.
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) tweeted yesterday, saying the dogs had been discovered and they had “reached out to Lady Gaga’s staff to return them”.
The dog walker and friend of the singer, Ryan Fischer, had been shot as he walked three of the singer’s dogs in Hollywood in Wednesday.
Video footage of the incident showed a car then pulled up alongside him and two men jumped out, struggling with him until one of them pulled out a gun and fired it again before stealing two of the dogs.
A third dog managed to get away but has since been reunited with Lady Gaga’s representatives.
Mr Fischer can be heard saying he had been shot in the chest. He is expected to survive his injuries, LAPD said.
