First steps if you lose your dog in Peckham

1
Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.
Tip from locals
Search outward toward Dulwich Park, about 1.8 miles away, and along the River Thames, 1.9 miles off, which can act as a corridor.
2
Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.
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 Southwark Park, about 1.4 miles away, and Peckham Rye Park to watch and call rather than chase.
4
Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.
5
Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.
Tip from locals
When you spread the word, include Brockley, about 1.6 miles to the south-east, and Rotherhithe, around 2 miles to the north-east, since a dog could already have reached them.
