Less than a week after I installed macOS 10.12.4 my Safari icon disappeared from my dock and has been replaced by a generic icon.
A week or so later, I couldn't take it anymore, so I downloaded the same v10.12.04 and re-installed it thinking it would revert to "normal." Sadly, my Safari icon is still missing. Any thoughts on what I might do to get it back in service? Thanks.
Mac mini, macOS Sierra (10.12.4)
The Dock alias may be corrupt. Quit Safari. Control - click on the Dock alias, then Options, and uncheck Keep in Dock. Go to your Applications folder, locate Safari, and drag the application to the Dock. If desired, repeat the above control - click and make sure Keep in Dock is checked.

It worked! So simple.
Thank you so much for your assistance. I know it did not affect function, but it was simply driving me nuts, and, yes, I am a wee bit anal retentive (but that doesn't make me a bad person, does it?!)
You are welcome. I hope it doesn't make you a bad person, because if it does, then I'm a bad person. 😁
Try this, mate..
