First steps if you lose your dog in The Bronx

  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 through Pelham Bay Park, about 1.6 miles away, and then Van Cortlandt Park, roughly 2.4 miles off, since a dog can cover a lot of ground early on.

  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 1 vet practice within about 3 miles 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 people in Crotona Park and Soundview Park not to chase or shout, but to watch and call.

  4. 4

    Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.

    Tip from locals

    Keep the scent item on the side away from I 95, a busy road about 1.0 miles away.

  5. 5

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

    Tip from locals

    Tell people in Morris Park (east, about 0.7 miles), Parkchester (south-east, about 0.8 miles) and Fordham (west, about 1.8 miles) so your dog is included.
