Help Find These Lost DC Pets On National Best Friend Day

WASHINGTON, DC — In honor of "National Best Friend Day" Thursday, Patch wants to give a shoutout to our furry friends who barked, meowed and cuddled their way into our hearts.

While many of us get to play with and hug our furry best friends every day as pet owners, there are many of us who have lost our animals -- and it's just like a missing family member. Where oh where is Fido? You may ask.

In commemoration of National Best Friend Day, we're sharing pictures of lost pets in DC, in the hopes that owners and pets can be reunited.

Many organizations use social media to post images of lost pets. These pictures come from the Facebook page "Lost & Found Pets of Washington, DC." More than 7 million dogs go missing in the United States every year, but we can do our part. Have you seen these cuties? Please share this story among your friends:
