First steps if you lose your dog in East Flatbush

  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 Belle's Brook and Lily Pond, about 1.9 miles away, since a dog can cover several miles in the first hours and waterside paths guide it.

  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

    Call the 20 vet practices within about 3 miles and 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 dog walkers in Canarsie Park, about 2.4 miles away, and Highland Park, around 2.8 miles 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

    Ask people in Flatbush to the west, about 1.5 miles away, and Canarsie to the south-east, around 1.7 miles, to watch for a dog that may already have reached them.
