Daphnae, a black and white pointer mix, was scared off by the gunshots at a dog park on Monroe Avenue. She is about 50 pounds and was wearing a pink harness.
Anyone that spots Daphnae was urged to not approach her, because she is likely still scared and will run away. Call Alexandria Non-Emergency Dispatch at 703-746-4444 with her location.
