Lady Gaga’s dog walker said that a few months after he was shot and killed to protect the singer’s pet, he embarked on a journey of spiritual healing and he is working hard to maintain financial stability.
In February of this year, Ryan Fischer was traveling with Gaga’s French Bulldog Miss Asia, Koji and Gustav in Los Angeles when he was shot in the chest and two of the dogs were stolen. Fischer was rushed to the hospital for surgery, and the dogs were returned safely a few days later.
Six months later, Fischer launched a GoFundMe page Seeking $40,000, he hopes to use the money to buy a new truck and travel expenses as he drives across the country and “grows from trauma.”
On Monday, the former dog walker wrote that shortly after he was discharged from the hospital, he began to return to his hometown of New York from Gaga’s Los Angeles home in a Ford Falcon rented in 1991. However, he said he recently had to say goodbye to his car “Trudy”, which “drove like a boat in a strong wind”.
“Sometimes I am scared. I am lonely. I feel abandoned and unsupported,” he said on his GoFundMe and at least two Instagram page He runs. “I have had depression, doubts, and self-pity for a long time. But those who took me to desert campsites, Wal-Mart parking lots and rest stops, and friends and family to New York and back began to help me understand why I chose to leave the Hollywood Hills. Safety, where I fight for my life and actions.”
Fischer said he hopes to get a van and continue to find communities that “support the process of growing from trauma,” such as retreat centers, trauma programs, queer therapists, and spiritual leaders. He added that he realized that he must spend time “recovering my body” and must “be equally committed to strengthening my emotional and mental health.”
Fischer went on to explain that his six-month recovery journey was only two months, but he was in an “obvious deadlock” and therefore decided to seek financial help.
He continued: “There are no vehicles, apartments, savings have been used up, and I rely on generous donations from relatives to make ends meet. I humbly seek your help.” Sharing your weaknesses is when everyone involved starts to fundamentally change.”
He concluded: “I love you and thank you for supporting me along the way; I really can’t wait to see how the next step of this journey unfolds for all of us.”
Although the former dog walker did not mention Gaga’s name in his notes, some social media users wondered why he would ask for donations when his friends could have helped him financially.

“Lady Gaga offered US$500,000 to find her missing dog, but allowed her dog walkers to set up GoFundMe because he is now homeless and still battling trauma. My expectations of the rich are not high, but they Always surprised me,” other wrote.
