First steps if you lose your dog in Swinton

  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 Worsley Brook, about 1.1 miles away, and Kempnough Brook, about a mile off, then up into Blackleach Country Park, roughly 2.7 miles out, where a dog can run far.

  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 in Clifton Country Park, about 2.1 miles out, and Buile Hill Park, roughly 1.7 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.

    Tip from locals

    Keep the scent item on the quieter side, away from the M60, which lies about 1.1 miles off, so a dog is less drawn towards 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 Little Hulton, about 3.6 miles north-west, and Little Lever, roughly 4.5 miles north, to look out for a dog that may have travelled that far.
