First steps if you lose your dog in Muswell Hill

  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 paths of Hampstead Heath, about 1.4 miles away, and along Pymme's Brook, about 1.9 miles off, where a dog can cover a long way 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 in Alexandra Park, about 0.4 miles away, and Finsbury Park, about 2 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.

  5. 5

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

    Tip from locals

    Include Hornsey, about 0.9 miles east, Highgate, about 1.9 miles south-west, and Southgate, about 2.5 miles north-east, in the alert so neighbours there can keep watch.
