First steps if you lose your dog in Leytonstone

  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 Wanstead Flats and Roding Valley Park, about 0.4 and 1.5 miles away, since these open routes carry a dog out of town quickly.

  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 Wanstead Park and Wanstead Flats, about 0.7 and 0.4 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 Forest Gate, about 1.4 miles to the south-east, and Barkingside, roughly 2.7 miles to the east, when you spread the word, since a dog may already have reached either.
