Woman to receive R7.5 million reward after finding Lady Gaga’s dogs tied to a pole in an alley
LADY Gaga’s dogs were found tied to a pole in an alley.
The Shallow hitmaker was left devastated when two of her French bulldogs – Koji and Gustavo – were stolen by thieves who attacked her dog walker, Ryan Fischer, last week, shooting him four times in the chest.
On Friday night, Gaga’s pooches were thankfully recovered when a woman brought them to Olympic Community Police Station. It has been confirmed that the dogs were found tied to a pole in an alley several kilometres from where they were stolen in West Hollywood.
Law enforcement sources said the woman who returned the dogs was not connected to the incident, and was merely passing by when she noticed the canines tied up.
It is reported that the woman contacted the email address Gaga posted for those with information, and was told to take them to a nearby police station.
It is also claimed that the woman will be receiving the $500 000
(R7.5 million) reward Gaga had offered for the safe return of her dogs.
Police are believed to still be searching for the two perpetrators of the violent theft, and are combing the area for surveillance video.
The theft occurred in West Hollywood last Wednesday night, when Fischer, 30, was walking all three of Gaga’s dogs – including third French bulldog Miss Asia – and was attacked by two men. Fischer was shot in the chest four times and rushed to hospital, where he is said to be in a “stable” condition.
Gaga’s third dog, Miss Asia, fled the scene and was later recovered by police and returned to one of Gaga’s bodyguards.
