First steps if you lose your dog in Bury

  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 Woodhill Brook and Barn Brook, about 0.4 and 0.6 miles away, then Hollins Vale Local Nature Reserve, around 2.0 miles off, since a dog can cover several miles in the first hours.

  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 Hoyles Park and Openshaw Park, both about 0.9 miles away, to watch and call rather than chase, and keep calm.

  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 Tottington, about 1.9 miles to the north-west, and Little Lever, around 4.1 miles to the south-west, in your alert, since a dog could already have reached them.
