First steps if you lose your dog in Koreatown

  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 to Exposition Park, about 2.8 miles away, then Pan Pacific Park and Hancock Park, both about 3.1 miles off, where a dog can cover ground.

  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 local police and the 6 vet practices within about 3 miles straight away, while others keep searching.

  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 people walking in MacArthur Park and Echo Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase, and to keep their voices low.

  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 Mid-City, about 3.6 miles west, and Vermont Square, about 3.9 miles south, in your alert, since a dog may already have reached them.
