USA Gymnast and Olympic gold medalist, Aly Raisman, is absolutely devastated that her dog, Mylo, has still not been found.
As The Blast previously reported, Raisman’s adopted pooch, Mylo, ran away on July 3, after being spooked by fireworks.
She took to Twitter on Saturday to issue a very important message.
“To my followers in the seaport/Boston area…my dog Mylo was terrified of fireworks and ran off. He has a tag on and a leash. Please let me know if you see him. Thank you,” she wrote.

The 27-year-old rescued Mylo as a puppy and regularly shares loving photos of him on social media. She has spoken about how important the dog was in her life to dealing with mental health and anxiety, things the Olympic champion has discussed in the past.
“I had such a great experience rescuing Mylo & I’m so appreciative for everyone at the shelter who works so hard to save these animals’ lives & give them forever homes,” Raisman wrote last year after adopting the puppy.
The determined gymnast has not let up on her search and rescue mission to bring Mylo home.
Raisman has also enlisted the help of a local organization, Missing Dog Mass, to help get Mylo home to safety.

Unfortunately, the search for her pup continues.
On Tuesday, July 6, Raisman took to Twitter once again to plead with fans to help bring him home.
She wrote, “I am offering a reward for Mylo’s safe return. Please keep your eyes open, he could be trapped or hiding. I still ask that if he is running please do not chase him, we don’t want to push him further away or put him in danger. Please contact lynnraisman@gmail.com if you see Mylo.”
Raisman followed up with, “Sending an exact location with photo/video would be so helpful & so appreciated. Thank you for the support, kindness & help. I’m hoping with some help we will be reunited soon.”

“Captain America” actor Chris Evans reposted the message to his Instagram story. Evans’ dog, Dodger, is a furry friend of Mylo’s and the pups had a playdate last November.
Raisman has instructed anyone who may have come across Mylo to not chase him or shout his name. If found, send a direct message to lynnraisman@gmail.com with an exact location of where Mylo was seen.
