First steps if you lose your dog in Donnybrook

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Head out toward Marlay Park, 5 km away, the largest green space nearby, where a dog can cover several kilometres.

  2. 2

    Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.

    Tip from locals

    10 vet practices are within 5 km, so call them and the local police straight away.

  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 Herbert Park, 1.3 km away, and Irishtown Nature Park, 2.7 km off, 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 Milltown, 1.5 km to the west, and Booterstown, 1.8 km to the south-east, in your alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
