MEXICO CITY (AP) — Aaron Ramsey’s move to Mexico has become a nightmare off the field as he continues to search for his lost dog.
The Wales soccer star posted a black-and-white photo on Instagram showing the beagle with the message: “What I’d do to hold you one last time Halo.”
Ramsey has appealed for help in tracking down the dog and has offered a $10,000 reward.
“Please help us find Halo, he was lost in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato,” Ramsey said on Instagram.
The former Arsenal, Juventus and Cardiff midfielder moved to Mexico in July on a one-year contract with top-tier Pumas, which is currently 12th in the 18-team league.
Ramsey missed Pumas' last match against Leon on Saturday while continuing the search for Halo, who he said went missing earlier this month after being left at a dog shelter in the city of Dolores, in Guanajuato, an industrial and agricultural state located in central Mexico.
His Pumas teammates and coach know how important the dog is to Ramsey.
“We are with him, let’s see what happens in the upcoming days," Pumas coach Efrain Juarez said after his 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,”
“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 finished the final three games of the 2024-25 season as Cardiff's interim manager after it was relegated from England's League Championship to third-tier League One.
With 86 appearances for Wales, he helped his country reach the Euro 2016 semifinals.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego city attorney’s office has agreed to pay $30 million to the family of a 16-year-old youth who was fatally shot by police last January in what would be one of the largest settlements of a police-involved killing case in U.S. history.
A resolution authorizing the proposed settlement with the family of Konoa Wilson has been added to the city council’s agenda for Tuesday morning.
“What happened to Konoa was a catastrophic failure of policing,” family attorney Nick Rowley said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press on Saturday. “A 16-year-old boy was running for his life. He was not a threat and not a suspect, yet he was shot in the back by a police officer who only saw him for one second before deciding to pull the trigger.”
If approved, the settlement would exceed the $27 million the city of Minneapolis agreed to pay the family of George Floyd, whose May 2020 murder by a police officer who kneeled on his neck sparked a nationwide racial reckoning.
Surveillance and body-worn camera footage from Jan. 28 showed Wilson running away from someone who pulled a gun and fired at him in a downtown train station. As he exited the station, Wilson encountered San Diego Police Officer Daniel Gold.
In a lawsuit against the city and Gold, the family alleged the officer “instantly, without any warning,” fired two shots at Wilson as he ran by, striking him in the upper body. The suit identified Wilson as Black.
“Only after shooting DECEDENT and watching him fall to the ground did Defendant GOLD finally announce ‘San Diego Police,’” said the suit, which was filed in June. “Defendants committed acts of racial violence against DECEDENT, a teenager, by shooting him in his back as he ran past Defendant GOLD, in an attempt to get to a place of safety.”
Wilson was pronounced dead at UC San Diego Health Medical Center less than an hour later.
An agenda item posted Friday said the settlement would be paid from the Public Liability Fund.
Lt. Chris Tivanian, a spokesman for the San Diego Police Department, told The New York Times that Gold remained on an administrative assignment pending results of a case review by the city attorney.
“He was a rookie and he shot before he even announced who he was,” Rowley said of Gold during a Zoom call with reporters. "I don’t think he’s a bad man, but he did a very, very bad, reckless thing.”
