go outside and walk your dogs now here in l.a. i never would have see that and is it likely do you think that the kidnappers would have known it was lady goggles dogs they were targeting you know that is something that people are questioning it's possible that maybe they watch ryan this year and they keep a close eye on him they know his route that he takes but french bulldogs are dogs that go for anywhere from $10000.00 there are dogs that go for $100000.00 even so it could be financial reasons it could be breeding reasons or it could be that they didn't know that it was lady gaga but as of right now it's not it's very uncertain ok you mentioned brian fisher he was of course shocked when the dogs kidnapped how is he now is he in hospital yes he's in the hospital his family came out with the same every single way they said that he is primly and stable condition and his andrew's were non-life threatening so he's doing much better all right and they did
