ARMED ROBBERY

HALF A MILLION REWARD

The two missing pups have 34-year-old Lady Gaga offering a $500,000 reward to anyone who returns Koji and Gustav safely. She has asked that any information regarding the two bulldogs be sent to KojiandGustav@gmail.com.

The "Shallow" singer's third dog Miss Asai was recovered by the authorities when they arrived on the scene, leaving the other two bulldogs still missing in action.

DOG-WALKER AND FRIEND

This dramatic event has occurred whilst Lady Gaga is in Italy filming her new movie "Gucci." The singer and actress have had to deal with this terrible situation while being halfway across the world.

The New York native isn't only worried about her pooches' well-being but is also concerned about Fischer as he is more than her dogs' caretaker to her. An inside source revealed:

"Ryan is not only her dog walker but also her friend. She is horrified that this happened."

DOG-WALKER & PROTECTOR

A close friend of the dog-walker provided insight into who Fischer is saying that he moved to Los Angeles four years ago to walk Lady Gaga's dogs and has also been a walker for Oprah Winfrey's pets in the past.

Fischer developed an extremely close bond with the singer's pets and even allowed them to befriend his own dog, Remington, a beagle. The 30-year-old's dedication to his job was noteworthy.

Gustav is the most recent addition to Lady Gaga's pet family. She adopted him in 2016 with him joining Koji and Asia, who were already a part of the singer's household.

With Fischer being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and doing well under the circumstances, he is sure to make a full recovery with the hope that he will back walking the singer's dogs in no time.
