"My daughter went missing around 6:40p.m from the house. Her dog peanut might be with her but not for sure. She's been gone for 14 1/2 hours and still not found peanut can be aggressive so please watch out for her. Abby is very shy and shuts down fast and won't say nothing if she is scared so please keep that in mind.
