$1,000 Reward Offered After Affluenza Teen's Dog Goes Missing in Mexico
Have you seen a dog that looks sort of like the dog you see above roaming the streets of beautiful, sunny Puerto Vallarta? If so, you might be able to score a $1,000 reward. Because as it turns out, that dog belongs to none other than ya boy, affluenza teen Ethan Couch.
Virgil, a Saarloos Wolfdog, hasn’t been seen since Couch and his mom Tonya were arrested in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on December 28, and now fears are growing about what has happened to it.
Now a relative of the Couches is offering a $1,000 reward for Virgil’s return.
Considering the state of the affluenza teen and his mother’s Mexican affairs, it’s not all that surprising that the dog got lost in the shuffle/arrest. What’s more—I, too, would run away from Ethan Couch the very first chance I got.
A note putting out a call for the missing pup was posted to the Puerto Vallarta’s SPCA Facebook page:
Which roughly translated, reads:
REWARD $1000
DOG LOST IN PUERTO VALLARTA
Lost on Colombía street.
If you have any information on her wherabouts,, please contact Misty at (817) 944-9311.
The dog answers to Virgil.
Considering Couch’s wealth, $1,000 does seem like a relatively small sum. But as The Mail writes:
Misty McWilliams, who lives in Burleson, a wealthy suburb of the Couches’ hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, slammed the phone down when Daily Mail Online called her to ask about her offer.
They seem like a nice family.
Anyway, if you find the dog, I suggest you keep it.
