First steps if you lose your dog in Burntwood

  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 across Hednesford Hills Common, about 2.6 miles away, and Brownhills Common, roughly 1.7 miles off, both wide open ground.

  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 Chasewater and Redwood Park to watch and call rather than chase, and to keep their own voices calm.

  4. 4

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

    Tip from locals

    Keep the scent item on the side away from the A5, the trunk road about 1.7 miles from the centre.

  5. 5

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

    Tip from locals

    Include Armitage, about 4.6 miles north-east, and Shenstone, roughly 4.7 miles south-east, when you spread the word.
