Emergency Plan in the Event of a Lost Dog - Episode 37

When a dog belonging to one of our staff members went missing, we all had a bit of a wake-up call. Firstly, it reminded us that this could happen to anyone. Even though we are knowledgeable and extremely careful with our dogs and despite how well trained they are, there is really no predicting when disaster might strike. Secondly, we didn’t realize how little we knew about the search process including the use of traps, tendencies of dogs when lost, utilization of social media to help, etc. Lastly, we realized how ill prepared most of us are. Even a small thing such as having good, recent photos readily available is something most of us hadn’t considered. Despite the abundance of photos most of us take of our dogs, having decent photos that would be suitable for a “Lost Dog” poster handy is important to expedite the process. With these details in mind, we have given some thought to preparedness and wanted to share with others in case you find yourself in this horrible situation. We hope you never do, but a little planning could make a big difference.
