First steps if you lose your dog in Lofthouse

  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 Haigh Beck, about 1.4 miles away, and into Water Haigh Woodland Park, roughly 2.5 miles off, where a dog can cover ground fast.

  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 at Wrenthorpe Park, around 2.5 miles away, and Springhead Park, about 1.7 miles off, 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.

    Tip from locals

    Keep the scent item on the quieter side, away from the M1, which lies about 0.6 miles off, so it draws the dog away from the traffic.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Tell people in Methley, about 3.8 miles east, Swillington, roughly 4.2 miles north-east, and Holbeck, around 4.7 miles north-west, to look out for a dog.
