Lady Gaga's Stolen Dogs Have Been Handed In To Police

Lady Gaga's stolen dogs have been handed in to police in Los Angeles.

The singer's dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was shot by two men on Wednesday (24 February), who abducted her French bulldogs Koji and Gustav.

Her other bulldog, named Miss Asia, ran away and was recovered by police.

Gaga - who is currently in Rome working on Ridley Scott film Gucci - offered a $500,000 (£359,000) reward for their safe return and the dogs were handed in to police at around 6pm yesterday (26 February).

It is unclear whether the woman who handed in the dogs has claimed the reward and her identity is being kept confidential. Fischer remains in a stable condition and his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Los Angeles Police Department said: "On February 26, 2021 at approximately 6:00 pm, 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."

Gaga - whose real name is Stefani Germanotta - previously said that the theft had made her heart 'sick' and that Fischer was a 'hero'.

It is unclear whether Gaga's dogs were targeted specifically, or whether the value of French bulldogs was the motivation behind the dognapping.

Gaga hasn't yet commented publicly since her dogs were returned.
