Posted by: LMLou 25th February 2021, 03:06 PM
Awful news in from LA
Lady Gaga's dog walker was shot in the chest four times by two men in Los Angeles on Wednesday night who stole two of the star's three French bulldogs.
Ryan Fischer, 30, had been walking Gaga's beloved dogs Koji, Miss Asia and Gustavo, in West Hollywood at around 10pm yesterday night when he was shot outside of his home on Sierra Bonita Avenue.
Police arrived to find Fischer conscious but barely breathing. He was taken to a nearby hospital but his condition is currently unknown.

Hoping that Ryan will be ok and that all her dogs are found safe!
Posted by: Chemistry 25th February 2021, 03:11 PM
Four times!? That is absolutely shocking and just crual. Hope he will recover, and also her dogs are safe and will be found. She must be feeling awful as well at the moment, just after she arrived in Italy.

Lady Gaga + dogs are two of my favourite things and so to see this story has truly hit me hard. I have a huge lump in my throat thinking about what the dogs are going through / how Gaga must be feeling. Please can there be positive news at the end of it
Posted by: Jade 25th February 2021, 05:08 PM
This is horrific poor Gaga leaving the country and being hit with this straight away, can't imagine how she's feeling </3 I'm glad Asia is okay and that it's looking good for the dog walker too but I pray that her other two dogs will be safe and returned soon. Awful.

Very likely. And Gaga is offering half a million back for them so I hope they do return them, take the money and live happy lives after because they obviously so desperately need the money that I truly pity them, the disgusting souls that have done this.

Asia ran away after the gun shots apparently and was later found by a police officer.

Sad news, I hope that Gaga can recover her dogs without having to pay for it, and that her bodyguard has a good recovery, without sequelae.

I'm not sure they knew that these were Gaga's dogs... according to Twitter, there have been lots of French bulldogs stolen in the US recently.

Gaga has posted. Crying.
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. 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.

I am cynically thinking the woman that found them was told they'd be there by the gunmen and they can all share the reward together 
seems odd for the kidnappers to leave the dogs there when there is such a huge reward that has been made public
But regardless of this, it is incredible news.

Hm, yeah indeed. Although we don't know if she was actually paid right? I wonder, because if I was the woman and had good intentions, I would never take the money.
Posted by: Adelita 27th February 2021, 07:14 PM
I would never accept $500k just for finding two stolen dogs, even if the dogs owner insisted on it.
If this woman demanded the reward, surely she's allied with the thieves, because a good hearted person would never take advantage of a bad situation like this.

To be honest, it just happened because the dog walker was walking them almost midnight and this isn't the right time to walk dogs on an empty street when you have literally all day to do it. Not that I'm blaming him for this violent act, but criminals do exist anywhere, whether you live in the US or an underdeveloped country.

Ryan has spoken out about the attack for the first time. Emotional wreck reading his post.
"while a car sped away and blood poured from my gun shot wound, an angel trotted over and laid next to me. My panicked screams calmed as I looked at her, even though it registered that the blood pooling around her tiny body was my own. I cradled Asia as best I could, thanked her for all the incredible adventures we'd been on together, apologized that I couldn't defend her brothers, and then resolved that I would still try to save them… and myself."
"I will write and say more later, but the gratitude for all the love I feel from around this planet is immense and intense. I felt your healing support! Thank you," wrote Fischer, who added he was grateful Gaga's dogs have been returned.
"I am humbled and grateful that attention and focus from the police were enough to get Koji and Gustav back to safety, and I know they are committed to bringing these criminals and attempted murderers to justice," Fischer added.
Fischer went on to thank his family and friends, as well as first responders and healthcare workers: "You literally saved my life," he wrote.
To Gaga, Fischer wrote, "Your babies are back and the family is whole… we did it! You have shown so much support throughout this whole crisis to both me and my family. But your support as a friend, despite your own traumatic loss from your kids, was unwavering. I love you and thank you."
"A lot of healing still needs to happen, but I look forward to the future and the moment when I get bombarded with kisses and licks (and maybe even an excitement pee?) from Asia, Koji, and Gustav."

4 days ago, while a car sped away and blood poured from my gun shot wound, an angel trotted over and laid next to me. My panicked screams calmed as I looked at her, even though it registered that the blood pooling around her tiny body was my own. I cradled Asia as best I could, thanked her for all the incredible adventures we’d been on together, apologized that I couldn’t defend her brothers, and then resolved that I would still try to save them… and myself.
.
Hopeful that my calm(ish) and forceful pleas for the urgency of my care as well as the focused descriptions of the dogs would be enough to help me and get enough police and media attention to find the boys, I looked backed at my guardian angel. I smiled at her shaking form, thankful that at least she would be okay.
.
From that point, right as the neighbors poured from their homes and restaurant to us on the sidewalk, life has taken a very sudden and unexpected turn. (Cont.)
I am still in recovery from a very close call with death and have kept myself (for the most part, I mean I am human) from the growing media story. I will write and say more later, but the gratitude for all the love I feel from around this planet is immense and intense. I felt your healing support! Thank you. I am humbled and grateful that attention and focus from the police were enough to get Koji and Gustav back to safety, and I know they are committed to bringing these criminals and attempted murderers to justice. I am so appreciative of everything you continue to do.
.
To all my friends and family who have cried with me and maybe even laughed at one or two of my morbid jokes by my side or over a screen: I love you. Thank you for keeping me grounded now more than ever. And my mom and brother flew out here to be with me.... happy birthday Sean!!!! I love you both with all my heart. All the dog videos and photos from my clients to keep my spirits up worked miracles. Seeing their faces light up when you said my name motivates me to keep pushing so I can play with them and see you again soon. I love you all! First responders and health care workers: you literally saved my life and helped me take newborn walks, I can’t thank you enough. And to Elisha, my family at Haüs and @ladygaga: your babies are back and the family is whole… we did it! You have shown so much support throughout this whole crisis to both me and my family. But your support as a friend, despite your own traumatic loss from your kids, was unwavering. I love you and thank you.
.
And now? A lot of healing still needs to happen, but I look forward to the future and the moment when I get bombarded with kisses and licks (and maybe even an excitement pee?) from Asia, Koji, and Gustav.

Lady Gaga’s Dog Walker Addresses Recovery and Trauma Following Violent Attack
Lady Gaga’s dog walker is on the mend after taking a bullet and almost losing his life in a mugging. The route through the next stage of recovery isn’t so clear.
Taking to social media, Ryan Fischer shared an update and some of the challenges of his healing process.
“Along with the media attention and trauma recovery,” he writes, “I am - for the first time in a very long time - without purpose, which has been the hardest part of this chapter.”
He continues, “because I’m not yet in the proper headspace to care for dogs (whenever I perceive a dog is in danger I go on high alert and then break down and cry after), my purpose for the last ten years has suddenly vanished.”
The scars aren’t all visible, but they’re still fresh, Fischer explains.
“People want to reach out, share in my pain for a moment, and then walk away, leaving me to relive it again. It’s not intentional; it comes from a kindness and compassion that I welcome.”
https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/9578421/lady-gaga-dog-walker-addresses-violent-attack/
Here is his post:
“You’re Ryan! You got shot. You were shot! Where were you shot? Where’d they shoot you?” ______________________
.
Over the past few weeks, after charges were announced and leveled against those who stole the boys and attempted to murder me, I continue to find myself on the receiving end of several conversations like this. With no arrow drawn to my wounds and no sign that reads, “I’m Ryan! I was shot,” people still come up to me on my morning walks to let me know that I, in fact, had been shot. And that my given name continues to be Ryan.
.
It’s a strange thing to be known for a trauma that I’m still healing from. People want to reach out, share in my pain for a moment, and then walk away, leaving me to relive it again. It’s not intentional; it comes from a kindness and compassion that I welcome. Everyone’s support and well wishes have been incredible, and I am so humbled by every kind word and prayer that have come my way. It just hasn’t always been easy to navigate as I continue to find myself.
.
Along with the media attention and trauma recovery, I am - for the first time in a very long time - without purpose, which has been the hardest part of this chapter. Because I’m not yet in the proper headspace to care for dogs (whenever I perceive a dog is in danger I go on high alert and then break down and cry after), my purpose for the last ten years has suddenly vanished.
.
So what do I do now during this necessary limbo? Do I sit and do nothing, or do I choose to cultivate another aspect of self that gives purpose? It’s funny, I set up this account years ago with a concept in mind: What would it look like if a gay Saint - specifically Saint Rocque, patron Saint of Dogs, Bachelors, and the Plague - were reincarnated and had to navigate modern celebrity culture? What would he do and say to get his message across? Would he get a van and explore this country, write about prison reform and healing, and comment about a late-stage capitalistic society through performance? Who knows, but I’m dying to find out. Not like get shot, dying, but I am excited to share in my bumbling exploration and storytelling with you along the way. To a purposeful journey!

Lady Gaga Officially Won’t Have to Pay $500k Reward to Woman Tied to Dog Theft, Judge Rules
Jennifer McBride, convicted of knowingly receiving the stolen French bulldogs after robbers nearly killed the pop star's dog walker, sued for the reward plus $1.5 million, citing promise of "no questions asked"
Lady Gaga emerged victorious Monday in the multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed by the woman who returned the pop star’s stolen French bulldogs in 2021 and later sued for the $500,000 reward – plus $1.5 million in further damages – even though she was convicted of knowingly receiving the stolen pets after dognappers nearly killed the singer’s dog walker.
A Los Angeles judge ruled that Jennifer McBride, 53, failed to remedy her lawsuit with an updated complaint filed two weeks after the court dismissed her original complaint in July on the grounds that McBride appeared to be trying to “benefit from her admitted wrongdoing.”
Judge Holly J. Fujie issued her final decision during a morning hearing lasting less than 10 minutes. She ruled that McBride had “unclean hands” when she tried to collect the $500,000 reward and was later prosecuted. Despite McBride’s argument that the reward was offered with a promise of “no questions asked,” Judge Fujie ruled that “a party to a contract who acts wrongfully in entering or performing the contract is not entitled to thereafter benefit from their wrongdoing by seeking to enforce the contract.”
