First steps if you lose your dog in Dorking

  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 Mole and up towards Box Hill, about 1 mile away, where a dog can cover a lot of ground 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 at Box Hill, about 1 mile away, and Brockham Green, roughly 1.9 miles off, to watch and call 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

    Include Westhumble, about 1.6 miles north, Westcott, roughly 1.9 miles west, and Mickleham, around 2.3 miles north, when you spread the word, as a dog may already have reached them.
