Lady Gaga's Dog Walker Puts Out A WILD First Person Account Of What It Was Like Getting Shot From His Hospital Bed

First of all, as terrible as that entire situation was, the fact that Ryan is alive is a miracle. The man got SHOT IN THE CHEST and not only survived, but is expected to make a full recovery. Thank God for that. Second, his recounting of the situation may be the most poetic recapping of an attempted murder of all time. I don't know if this guy writes in his free time or what, but I was enthralled from start to finish. The opening paragraph was better than anything I've ever written in my life...

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.

Kelly Keegs covered the story when it first broke, which you can check out HERE. Long story short the dogs were stolen, Ryan got shot, Gaga offered a $500k reward, and they were returned. Here's what the LAPD had to say about that..

"The woman found the dogs and reached out to Lady Gaga’s staff to return them," the LAPD said in a statement. "The woman’s identity and the location the dogs were found will remain confidential due to the active criminal investigation and for her safety."

The dogs, Koji and Gustav, were turned over to Gaga's team, authorities said.

"The dogs are happy," Joe Germanotta, Gaga's father, said Saturday. "We had them checked out by the vet and everything is fine. The family is extremely happy."

I give it one week before the lady who "found the dogs" is arrested. Thoughts and prayers to Ryan and his family during this time. I'm sure the recovery won't be easy, but the fact that he's making it is incredible. Not only that, he now has a job for life as a member of Gaga's team. Glass half full. Take it away, Stefani…
