Ekko is Lost!

UPDATE 9/2/09: Ekko has been found! You can read the update on his blog.

Ekko is a German Shorthair Pointer mix,who went missing from his home near the 2200 block of N. Quantico Street in Arlington, VA around 7:30pm on 8/4/09.

Ekko was adopted from HART and 17 days after settling in with his new family, on 8/4/09 at about 7:30pm, there was a loud noise just as they were returning to the house from a walk, and Ekko bolted and ran to the end of his leash. That freaked him out too and he bolted, again, and got away. He did have his collar with all his tags on; we believe his leash has been cut and is no longer dragging behind him.

Here are some details about Ekko:
