Lady Gaga said her “heart is sick” after the violent robbery of her dogs as she confirmed a reward of $ 500,000 for their safe return.

Her friend Ryan Fisher, who has been walking pets, was shot in a hijacking in Los Angeles earlier this week.

The singer posted her first Instagram comment since the incident.

“My lovely dogs, Coogi and Gustav, were taken in Hollywood two nights ago,” she said.

“My heart is sick and I pray that my family will be complete again.

I will pay $ 500,000 for their safe return. Email [email protected] to contact us.

Or if you bought them or found them without knowing, the reward is the same.

“I still love you, Ryan Fisher, I risked your life to fight for our family. You are a hero forever.”

More than 450,000 people loved the post in just 20 minutes, and the singer’s appeal also included a number of pictures of French Bulldogs.

Mr. Fischer’s family released a statement on Friday saying he was expected to make a full recovery.

They said he was receiving “exceptional care” in the hospital as they thanked the first responders who helped him.

“Of course, we also want to be thankful Lady Gaga Who has shown nothing but the constant love and interest of Ryan and our family from the start. “

“Ryan loves Gustavo and Koji as much as Lady Gaga, so we join her plea for their safe return.”

Police said Mr. Fisher was walking with the dogs when they pulled over a car and two men tried to steal the animals.

Video captured by home surveillance cameras It shows he’s shrinking and two dark-clad men pull out.

The men seem to wrestle with Mr. Fisher before someone pulls out what appears to be a pistol and hears the sound of a bullet, before they flee.
