Not even a week after Lady Gaga’s two dogs were recovered after being taken at gunpoint, and leaving their dog walker in a hospital, another dog has been taken at gunpoint in Venice.
According to reporting by Patch, three men took the shepherd puppy from its owner near 19th Avenue and 20th Avenue on Saturday night.
The owner is offering a $1,000 reward for the safe return of Sosa.
Anyone with information was asked to call 571-232-5130.
On February 25, it was widely reported that Lada Gaga’s three dogs were taken at gunpoint and her dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was shot. Monday, Fischer shared his story on Instagram.
Fischer says that as the suspect’s car sped away “blood poured” from his gunshot wound and “a guardian angel was there with him,” likely he means one of Gaga’s dogs.
Fischer was walking Gaga’s three French bulldogs in Hollywood in the area of Sierra Bonita Avenue and Sunset Blvd when he was attacked by the two suspects
According to an LAPD press release at the time: "Two suspects exited the vehicle and demanded the victim turn over the dogs at gunpoint. The victim struggled with the suspects and was shot once by one of the suspects. The suspects took two of the three dogs and fled the scene in the suspect vehicle."
The dogs were recovered over the weekend after they were found tied up in an alley in downtown Los Angeles, but Fischer has been in the hospital ever since.
