First steps if you lose your dog in Heckmondwike

  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 through Dewsbury Country Park, about 0.9 miles away, and on to Oakwell Hall Country Park, around 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 dog walkers in Crow Nest Park, about 1.5 miles away, and Wilton Park, roughly 1.7 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

    Let the neighbourhoods of Roberttown, about 1.2 miles to the south-west, and Kirkhamgate, roughly 5.1 miles to the east, know, since a dog may already have reached them.
