First steps if you lose your dog in Harlesden

  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 Grand Union Canal and the River Brent, then towards Fryent Country Park, about 2.4 miles away, where a dog could cover a lot of 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 walkers in Gladstone Park and Woodfield Park, about 1.3 and 2.1 miles 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

    Include Brent, about 2.5 miles north-west, Queen's Park, roughly 1.9 miles east, and Harrow Road, around 2.3 miles east, when you spread the word.
