First steps if you lose your dog in Weymouth

  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 West Fleet and Preston Brook, 1.9 and 1.4 miles away, and toward Lodmoor Country Park at 1 mile.

  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 Radipole Park Gardens, 0.6 miles away, and at Lodmoor Country Park to watch and call 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 Osmington, 3.9 miles north-east, and Easton, 5.3 miles south, in the alert, so the wider area is covered.
