Update on Possible Sighting

So the wonderful woman who saw a dog that looked like Zoe being picked up on 495 has provided details:

Yesterday morning at approximately 8 am, I received a frantic voice mail from a friend of mine, saying that she witnessed an Australian Shepherd Catahoula mix, crossing the northbound lanes of 495 near the Arlington Blvd exit.

She witnessed the terrifying and alarming situation immediately, as a dog with an obvious limp was making its way to the center median of the highway. According to her report, as soon as the dog reached the median, it then proceeded to head southbound (opposing traffic) hugging the median wall. Although my friend was unable to stop, she stated that when she looked in her rear view mirror, she saw a white SUV successfully pull to the center median, and jump out of the car and race after the dog.

Minutes later, she was so releived, as the she said the same SUV that had pulled over in obvious attempts to catch the frightened (and potentially injured) animal, actually drove past her with the dog inside its vehicle.

She believes the white SUV was a Ford Expedition, she definitely confirmed it had VA plates, but cannot confirm the plate #, nor if the individual was male or female. The dog regardless is off of the highway, but thus far we've had no reportings of shelters or vets having the animal.

PM Update: Thanks to volunteers and Zoe's dad who have spent most of the day calling Northern Virginia vets! No one has Zoe yet, but all wanted to get the flier. Zoe can now be found on FidoFinder, and listings have been posted to Craigslist - one about Zoe the lost dog and one in search of whoever picked up a dog from 495 on Tuesday.
