First steps if you lose your dog in Belper

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Search outward along the River Derwent and into Duffield Millennium Meadow, about 2.4 miles away, which gives a dog open ground to run.

  2. 2

    Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.

  3. 3

    Ask people not to chase or shout — a frightened dog runs. Crouch down, avoid eye contact and call calmly.

    Tip from locals

    Ask dog walkers at Crich Lane Festival Park and River Gardens to watch and call calmly, not chase, since both are close enough to check quickly.

  4. 4

    Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.

    Tip from locals

    Put the scent item on the side away from the A38, the trunk road about 1.6 miles off, so it does not pull a dog towards traffic.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Tell people in Kilburn, about 2.1 miles south-east, Heage, around 2.4 miles north-east, and Turnditch, roughly 3.4 miles west, to watch out for a dog.
