Snoopy, Come Home

Your dog may wander away from you in the park, but if he doesn’t return within a few minutes, especially after you've called his name, stay in one place so he can find his way back to you. If a friend is with you, have him search the immediate area while you wait for your dog to return, then have your friend broaden his search, if necessary. If there is no sign of your dog after an hour or two, assume that he is lost or has been stolen. Your immediate priority should be to call your vet and local pound and shelters to report your dog as missing, then bring them a picture and visit daily to check for him. Post "Lost" signs (ideally with a picture and mention of a reward) at the vet clinic, shelter, pet stores and around your area. Ask your neighbors to watch out for your dog.
