Camera Dog!
Spend time calling and
whistling for your dog. In
spite of your panic, try to
sound cheerful and excited –
the voice you might use when
asking your dog if he wants
to go for a walk. Circle the
location in which he was
last seen. It's also
important to
stop regularly, be quiet,
and listen
for your pet to make a noise
in reply.
Wanna Go For A Walk?
Drive slowly through your
neighborhood, calling your
dog and using a few of his
favorite words and phrases
such as “Wanna go for a
walk?” or “let’s go to the
beach!” If your pet has a
favorite "squeaky toy" bring
it along and use it to help
you make familiar noises.
You can also try opening a
can of dog food or shaking a
box of his favorite treats.
Don’t Be Shy
Talk to everybody you run
across. This includes
the postman, paperboy,
children, parents waiting at
the school bus stop, school
crossing guards,
neighborhood crime watch
groups, garbage pick-up
crews, etc. Give them a
written description of your
pet and your phone number as
well. Try to get all the
neighborhood children
involved. Kids are great at
finding lost pets!
All The News That’s Fit to
Print
Take advantage of the lost
and found ads in your local
newspaper. Place a 'lost
dog' ad as soon as possible,
and be sure to check the
column daily for any that
have been found.
Check with the Vet
If your pet was somehow
injured, a kindly neighbor
may have taken it to the
nearest veterinary clinic
for help.
Prevent!
Reduce the likelihood of
your dog becoming lost by
making sure your dog wears a
collar and current
identification tags at all
times! Always keep an
updated picture of your dog
handy. Remember that a lost
dog may lose their collar or
identity tag, which is yet
another reason to have your
dog micro chipped.
