Wales football star Aaron Ramsey has increased the reward for information about his missing dog, Halo, to $20,000 (£15,000).
The former Arsenal and Cardiff midfielder, who now plays for Pumas UNAM in Mexico City, said Halo was last seen in San Miguel de Allende, in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato.
The beagle went missing on 9 October while wearing a dog tracker collar, and Ramsey shared a Google Maps location of her last known whereabouts.
“Any news about our Halo please contact us. Big reward for finding her. We are all praying she’s ok and can be back with us soon,” he wrote on Instagram.
Ramsey first announced Halo’s disappearance two weeks ago and has since posted several photos of the beloved pet on social media. Initially, a $10,000 reward was offered, but after a week with no leads, the footballer and his family doubled the amount.
“We just want our girl back,” he added in another social media plea, referring to the 10-year-old dog.
The most recent Instagram post shows a black-and-white photograph of Halo snoozing with her head resting in the crook of Ramsey’s arm, captioned: “What I’d do to hold you one last time Halo.”
Ramsey has also shared a message from his wife, Colleen, expressing concern over the circumstances of Halo’s disappearance. She said the family has some “serious questions” and fear they “may never get answers.”
“We still haven’t found Halo. I don’t think we ever will,” her post read.
Ramsey, the Wales captain, joined Mexican top-flight side Pumas UNAM earlier this year, making his Liga MX debut in August. The Caerphilly-born midfielder is the first high-profile British player to feature in the Mexican league.
