First steps if you lose your dog in Bonnyrigg

  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 North Esk and Pittendriech Burn, which run close to town, then check Dalkeith Park, about 1.7 miles away.

  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 in Ironmills Park and Welfare Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, since they are the nearest parks.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

    Tip from locals

    Include Danderhall, about 2.7 miles to the north, and Mayfield, around 2.6 miles to the east, when you spread the word, since a dog may already have reached them.
