Welsh soccer star Aaron Ramsey, who joined Mexico City\u2013based Pumas UNAM in July to become the first high-profile British player in Liga MX<\/a>, has doubled the reward for his missing dog Halo to US $20,000 as the search in central Mexico stretches into its third week.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old midfielder said Halo, a 10-year-old beagle, vanished Oct. 9 in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. She was wearing a GPS collar when last seen in the vicinity of Hipsterrier, a dog camp\/boarding facility, he added.<\/p>\n

\"AaronBesides captaining the Welsh national team, Ramsey played for European powerhouses Arsenal and Juventus before joining Pumas this year.

\u201cIf you have any news about our Halo, don\u2019t hesitate to contact us,\u201d he wrote on Instagram.<\/a> \u201cThere will be a BIG REWARD for finding her. We\u2019re all praying that she\u2019s OK and can be back with us soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The initial reward offered was US $10,000.<\/p>\n

He later posted a black-and-white photo of the dog resting on his arm,<\/a> captioned, \u201cWhat I\u2019d do to hold you one last time Halo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramsey\u2019s wife, Colleen, publicly questioned whether Halo \u201csimply disappeared,\u201d adding, \u201cShe was probably taken. I urge local residents to share her photo. We\u2019re looking for her, dead or alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been silent, trying to understand how you can leave your dog at a ranch and never see her again,\u201d Aaron Ramsey added. \u201cNo explanation? The cameras weren\u2019t recording, no one found her, no sightings, no body and a bunch of lies. We just want to say goodbye and move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ordeal has coincided with an extended Ramsey absence from Pumas, one of 18 teams in Mexico\u2019s top professional league, Liga MX. With two matches to go in the current season, the auriazules (gold and blues) are in 13th place with a record of 3 wins, 6 ties and 6 losses.<\/p>\n

Ramsey \u2014 a former star for Arsenal (2008-2019) in the English Premier League and for Juventus (2019-2022) in Italy\u2019s Serie A \u2014 has played in only six of those games, registering one goal and zero assists.<\/p>\n

The captain of the Wales national team was first granted special leave by coach Efra\u00edn Ju\u00e1rez, which was then extended due to what has been reported as a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

Ramsey\u2019s remark \u201cWe just want to say goodbye and move on\u201d led to speculation he wanted to leave Mexico. But Pumas confirmed this week that he has returned to the team\u2019s training center to begin rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Pumas would qualify for the playoffs by finishing in the top 10 in the standings, which is still a possibility. The team has an important home game on Sunday against Club Tijuana at Estadio Ol\u00edmpico Universitario \u2014 the main venue of the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.<\/a><\/p>\n
