Lady Gaga’s two French bulldogs have been safely returned to the pop star after robbers stole the animals at gunpoint from her dog walker, who was shot in the struggle, according to Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)
The dogs were brought to an LAPD station north of downtown on Friday evening by a woman believed to be ”uninvolved and unassociated” with the theft and shooting earlier this week, police captain Jonathan Tippett told the Associated Press.
Giving an update on Twitter, the LAPD wrote;
“Both of Lady Gaga’s dogs have been turned in to a local police station, and they have been safely reunited with Lady Gaga representatives.
“On February 26, 2021 at approximately 6:00 p.m., a woman met Lady Gaga’s staff and Robbery Homicide Detectives at Los Angeles Police Department Olympic Station with the two missing dogs taken in the recent Hollywood street robbery.
“The woman found the dogs and reached out to Lady Gaga’s staff to return them. The woman’s identity and the location the dogs were found will remain confidential due to the active criminal investigation and for her safety.
“The victim is listed in stable condition after the shooting, and his injuries were described as being non-life-threatening.
LAPD Robbery Homicide Detectives will continue to investigate to ensure the persons responsible are ultimately arrested and brought before justice.“
While there are several questions about exactly how the dogs were recovered, a representative of Lady Gaga met with detectives at the police station to confirm their identity, as the singer is still in Rome filming a movie.
Not long before the meeting, Gaga put out a plea on Twitter reiterating an earlier $500,000 offer for the safe return of the animals, adding that “if you bought or found them unknowingly, the reward is the same.”
She wrote on Twitter:
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.
“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.“
