Lady Gaga Breaks Silence on Dogs Being Stolen, Calls Ryan Fischer a Hero

Lady Gaga is speaking out for the first time since her dogs were stolen in Hollywood earlier this week.

The 34-year-old singer has been in Italy while working on her upcoming Gucci movie and her three dogs stayed behind in the U.S.

Gaga‘s dog walker Ryan Fischer was walking the dogs on Wednesday night (February 24) and two men ambushed him at gunpoint and demanded he give them the dogs. He was shot in the chest and two of the dogs were taken while the third was able to get away.

“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,” Gaga said in a statement on her Instagram account on Friday (February 26).

She continued, “I will pay $500,000 for their safe return. Email [email protected] to contact us. Or, if you bought or found them unknowingly, the reward is the same. I continue to love you Ryan Fischer, you risked your life to fight for our family. You’re forever a hero.”

Ryan‘s family just released a statement and gave an update on his recovery.
