First steps if you lose your dog in Bushey

  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 Colne and toward Aldenham Country Park, about 1.8 miles away, then Cassiobury Park, roughly 2.1 miles off.

  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 people in Attenborough's Fields and Oxhey Park, 0.4 and 1 mile away, to watch and call calmly rather than chase.

  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

    Name Carpenders Park 1.4 miles south-west, Letchmore Heath 1.9 miles north-east and Harrow Weald about 2.5 miles south-east as places a dog may already have reached.
