The SPCA in Puerto Vallarta, where the Couches were found, has posted a lost-dog notice offering: “REWARD $1000 DOG MISSING IN PUERTO VALLARTA.” 
 
 The dog, a half-shepherd half-wolf mix, answers to the name Virgil, according to the online notice. Reached Wednesday, the relative said she was sorry but she was “not allowed to comment on any of that.” 
 
 The Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office and U.S. Marshals Service say they do not know what happened to the dog. Mexico’s foreign ministry and U.S. Embassy also do not know the dog’s whereabouts. “This is also a mystery to us.” 
 
 Tonya Couch’s attorney, Stephanie Patten, told WFAA-TV (Channel 8) that her client’s two main concerns are for the welfare of her son and the dog. If Ethan Couch agrees to return, he’ll be brought back to Texas by the U.S. Marshals Service issued a wanted notice for Ethan Couch after he allegedly failed to check in with his probation officer in December. It’s believed they fled to Mexico in late November after the release of a video that appears to show Ethan Couch at a party where people are drinking and playing beer pong. Couch received 10 years’ probation in his 2013 intoxication manslaughter case after a psychologist testified he suffered from “affluenza” because his family’s wealth and a dysfunctional relationship with his parents left him without a sense of responsibility. Couch is accused of helping her son, Ethan Couch, flee to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, after he missed a juvenile probation appointment. He put up a legal fight to keep Mexican authorities from extraditing him to the U.S. His mother was deported back to the U.S. last week and is expected to be in the Tarrant County jail by the end of this week. Staff writer Alfredo Corchado contributed to this report.
– The dog that may be partially responsible for getting Ethan Couch's deportation to the US delayed has gone missing. The "affluenza teen" and his mom, who has been deported, brought their dog with them when they fled to Mexico, and the SPCA in Puerto Vallarta—where Ethan and Tonya Couch were located by authorities—has reposted a Facebook post originally put up by a relative of Tonya Couch's, the Dallas News reports. The post offers a $1,000 reward for the return of the dog, named Virgil, and says he went missing near the intersection where the Couches were detained, per the News. Not much information is available beyond that—the relative won't comment further; a spokesperson for the Jalisco fiscal office in Mexico says the dog "was never in our possession" but that his office is looking into the animal's whereabouts; and the US Marshals Service, the Tarrant County DA's office in Texas, the US Embassy, and Mexico's foreign ministry all claim to have no idea what happened to Virgil. Per the News, he looks like a "large shepherd mix or wolf hybrid"; the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says he "appears to be a Saarloos wolfdog—a female European wolf and a male German shepherd hybrid." At the Tuesday hearing at which Tonya Couch agreed not to fight extradition from California to Texas, her attorney said Couch's "two main concerns" are Ethan, who is still detained in Mexico, "and her dog, Virgil," WFAA reports.
