MEXICO CITY (AP) — Aaron Ramsey’s move to Mexico has taken a distressing turn off the field as he continues his search for his lost dog, Halo.
On Friday, the Wales soccer star posted a black-and-white photo on Instagram showing him hugging the beagle, accompanied by the heartfelt message: “What I’d do to hold you one last time Halo.” Ramsey has appealed for help in tracking down his beloved pet and has offered a $10,000 reward.
“Please help us find Halo, he was lost in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato,” Ramsey wrote on Instagram.
The former Arsenal, Juventus, and Cardiff midfielder moved to Mexico in July, signing a one-year contract with top-tier club Pumas, which currently sits 12th in the 18-team league.
Ramsey missed Pumas’ last match against León on Saturday as he continued the search for Halo, who went missing earlier this month after being left at a dog shelter in Dolores, a city in Guanajuato, an industrial and agricultural state located in central Mexico.
His Pumas teammates and coach understand how much the dog means to Ramsey.
“We are with him, let’s see what happens in the upcoming days,” Pumas coach Efraín Juárez said after the team’s 1-0 win against Lyon. “He has this issue, we all know what it is, with his dog, but we are there for him.”
The search continues.
“We are still searching for answers. If you see a beagle in San Ignacio, Dolores Hidalgo, please message us,” Ramsey’s wife, Colleen Ramsey, said on social media.
Ramsey recently finished the final three games of the 2024-25 season as Cardiff’s interim manager after the club was relegated from England’s League Championship to the third-tier League One.
With 86 appearances for Wales, Ramsey has been a key player, helping his country reach the Euro 2016 semifinals.
