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:

Breed: German Shorthair Pointer Mix
Color: Black with black and white speckled chest and paws. White tip on tail.
Age: 1 Year
Size: Large (55 lbs.), tall with long legs
Description: Ekko is a shy gentle (former shelter) dog who can be easily spooked by loud noises and can run very fast. He may not come to people.
Lost from: the 2200 block of N Quantico St; near Quantico St & 22nd Street in Arlington, VA, between Westover and the East Falls Church Metro
Tags: ID, Rabies, HART 8975
