John, from the picture it looks like leaf scorch, not a fungal or bacterial disease. Scorch is caused by direct exposure to sun to dogwood leaves. Dogwoods are understory plants and are intolerant of bright sunlight.
Look at this VCE pub for other possiblities, or take the sample to the Plant Disease Clinic at VT.
