February 27, 20214 yr I kind of feel like these dogs will never be safe again now it's known she'd be willing to pay that much for their return. :( 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.
March 1, 20214 yr 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." :cry: "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." :heart: "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." :rofl: :wub:

March 1, 20214 yr The posts: View this post on Instagram View this post on Instagram 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. :heart:
April 29, 20214 yr 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. I was right, the bitch was a partner to the miscreants, never trust people.
April 30, 20214 yr I really hope justice is served. Despicable creatures. Also glad Gaga didn't give the reward before this happened!
May 26, 20214 yr 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/957...violent-attack/ Here is his post: View this post on Instagram “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! :cry:
