Hi there - I just returned from investigating a possible sighting of Rocky on Florida St and 26th road. The woman said she encountered the dog and tried to get his attention. She threw a treat in the direction of the dog. The dog grabbed the treat and then ran down Florida towards Lee Highway. The woman's son said that the dog looked like the one he had seen on a poster - so the woman went and found the poster and called me. I gave her the link to the site and pointed out the pictures of Rocky - she seemed very confident that it was him, and it was definitely a match in color (tri-colored), size, and a white tip on the tail. One thing she also said was that she didn't think this dog was wearing a collar - which means if it was him, Rocky may have lost his collar.
If you look on a map, you'll notice this possible sighting is in Arlington, actually not to far from Rocky's home. This would be the first sighting that is actually back towards home for him. So perhaps he has a better understanding of his bearings.
Thanks to the 14 people who came out yesterday and 15 people who came today to help with the postering and searching effort. Rocky's cute mug is plastered everywhere it seems. Although there is nothing organized, I know there will be people out postering and searching tomorrow - including around this new possible sighting area. Call or text me at 703-593-1040 if you have the time to join them.

Dominion Pet Supply and Dogma Dog Bakery are both right near the latest sighting. I need to go to that shopping center tomorrow morning anyway, so I will take flyers to those locations.
ReplyDeleteI'll drive around that area tomorrow after church.
ReplyDeleteI will take my kids for a car ride around this area tomorrow as I don't live too far from here. I hope that he's found soon...I feel for you and would be devastated if this were my lab. I'll keep looking...anything for a furry Steeler fan!
ReplyDeleteI have been keeping an eye out for Rocky for the last 2 weeks in the area of Allan Ave in Falls Church where I live. I give credit to you and the amount of people that you are able to bring out to help and who are looking for him. I am going to drive around the area tomorrow evening and look around in the area of the Lee/Harrison shopping center and of course my neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThe employees at Dogma Dog Bakery are handing out the business cards with Rocky's information and there are flyers on both sides of the front door. The employees are also regularly searching the areas where he has been seen as they check the blog regularly throughout the day. We will make sure that everyone coming into the store today is aware that he was seen so close to the store and will try to get more people out to search the area.
Thanks!
We took a drive down Lee Hwy today from Rt 7 all the way to the Key Bridge. No sightings yet... We won't stop looking!
