Lady Gaga's Dog Walker Speaks For First Time About Being Shot During Dognapping Incident, Praises Pop Star Despite Backlash
Lady Gaga's dog walker Ryan Fischer spoke out in an on-camera interview for the first time detailing the traumatic incident he went through during the dognapping attack.
Ryan opened up to Gayle King on CBS Mornings about how he feels about the Bad Romance singer and how the doctors didn't think he would survive the attack.
The celebrity dog walker confessed that he's still healing from the horrific incident when he was shot by dognappers while walking Gaga's french bulldogs in the Hollywood neighborhood claiming, "some days are great and some weeks are not that's been the big up and down the last couple months."
Ryan told the interviewer that he knew he would be shot as soon as the guys pulled the gun on him, but he was ready to sacrifice his life to protect the dogs. "there is no way I am not gonna fight for these dogs," he said.
He said he was shot once, but the bullet went through his neck and above his clavicle and went out through his shoulder blade, which had pierced his lung.
As Ryan described in the interview, there was a team of 8 or 9 people working on him on the operating table. As they tried to put the chest tube in, his blood just spurted out on the doctor next to him, which made "everyone's faces just dropped." The people in the emergency room who witnessed the extent of injuries he suffered didn't think he would survive that night.
