Pop singer Lady Gaga’s two dogs were returned to the Los Angeles Police Department on Saturday two days after they were violently stolen during an armed robbery incident. The French bulldogs, Gustav and Koji, were safely brought back by a woman.
The incident took place on Wednesday night when Lady Gaga’s dog walker Ryan Fischer was taking them on a walk. The robbers managed to steal two of the singer’s three dogs. Fischer was shot at while resisting the assailants.
According to a report by CNN, a home surveillance camera caught the entire incident on camera. The footage showed that at least two individuals came up to the dog walker. “The footage also contains vivid audio in which the victim can be heard telling the attackers, ‘No, no’ as he struggles with the men,” the report said.
Fischer said that he sustained injuries to his lungs and chest and the police said that he is currently stable.
A report by Variety said that the dogs were returned to the LAPD Olympic station and were picked up by Lady Gaga’s representatives. The robbers have still not been caught.
The armed robbery had prompted the A Star is Born actor to put out a statement where she offered a $500,000 reward for finding or returning her dog.

CNN said that the woman who brought the dogs back will remain anonymous while the investigation is ongoing. “The woman’s identity and the location the dogs were found at will remain confidential due to the active criminal investigation and for her safety,” the police said in a statement. It is also unclear if the woman claimed the reward.
Lady Gaga also praised her dog walker for his actions. “I continue to love you Ryan Fischer, you risked your life to fight for our family. You’re forever a hero,” she wrote on social media.
