First steps if you lose your dog in Memphis

  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 toward Overton Park, about 2.9 miles away, and Loosahatchie Bar, around 1.4 miles off.

  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 one vet practice within about 3 miles and local police straight away, before the dog has time to cover more ground.

  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 Tom Lee Park, about 0.75 miles away, and Mud Island Park, roughly 0.4 miles off, 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.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Tell Sylvan Heights, about 2.6 miles north-east, and Bunker Hill, around 3.5 miles south, that a dog may already have reached them, so include them when you spread the word.
