Former Premier League star posts heartbreaking update despite offering huge sum for missing dog

Despite offering a $10,000 (£7,500) reward for information leading to Halo’s return, the much-loved pet has yet to be found.

On Friday evening, Ramsey posted a black-and-white photograph of Halo on Instagram alongside the caption: “What I’d do to hold you one last time, Halo.”

The emotional message was also shared on his Instagram story, accompanied by three white heart emojis.

The 34-year-old has been using social media to raise awareness since Halo’s disappearance, with local volunteers also joining the search.

Posters and placards bearing Halo’s image have been seen across San Miguel de Allende, as residents and fans rally around Ramsey’s family.

When the dog first went missing, Ramsey issued a public plea for assistance, writing: “Please help us find Halo. He was lost in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, in the vicinity of Hipsterrier, which is a dog shelter. A reward is being offered. Any information is valuable. Help us get him back to his family.”

Supporters from around the world have filled the comments of Ramsey’s recent posts with messages of sympathy and encouragement.

His wife, Colleen, has also shared appeals online, as the family continues to hope for Halo’s safe return.

The dog is part of the Ramsey household alongside their three sons — Sonny, and twins Tomas and Teddy — who have also been devastated by the loss.

Ramsey, who joined Mexican side Pumas UNAM in July, has been settling into life in Central America following his departure from Cardiff City last season.

Speaking at the time of his move, the midfielder said he was drawn to the club’s ambition and the quality of the Mexican league.

“I’ve played with some players who understand the Mexican league and had conversations with them,” he said.

“This league is very technical. Great players have been produced, and the national team is very good. I’ve played for some of the best teams in the world and there’s always an expectation to win — I’m sure it’s no different here.”

He added that he was relishing the challenge: “I’ve spent a period of my career without winning things, but managed to overcome that and win, so I know what this club is capable of.

“Hopefully, I can play my part in helping us lift silverware. The altitude is definitely something to get used to, but I’m doing well and can’t wait to help my teammates on the pitch.”

Pumas have made a mixed start to the Liga MX campaign, sitting 12th in the table, but Ramsey’s focus in recent weeks has been consumed by the search for Halo.

Friends, teammates, and fans continue to share posts in support of the player, whose heartfelt message this week underscored the emotional toll the loss has taken.

Ramsey remains hopeful that the family’s loyal companion will be found, telling friends he has not given up faith that Halo will one day make it home.
