One day prior, Germanotta pleaded in an interview with Fox News for the public to "help us catch these creeps." He added that now that it's known the dog walker will be ok, they're desperate for a safe return for the pups, named Koji and Gustavo.

Gaga's dad also added a plea to the suspects on Friday, sharing with Fox News: "Please don't hurt those animals."
"They hurt no one, just let them go. There's no reason to keep them. They have no value. The visibility they have now you'd be crazy to buy them," Germanotta continued. "Let them go. Give them back to us so that we can bring them back into the family."
