First steps if you lose your dog in Didcot

  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 Thames, about 2.2 miles from the centre, and Mill Brook, roughly 1.9 miles away, which act as corridors a dog can follow.

  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 Smallbone Recreation Park and The Green to watch and call rather than chase.

  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 A34, which runs 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 Long Wittenham, about 2.5 miles north-east, and Sutton Courtenay, roughly 2.7 miles north-west, when you spread the word.
