Some of these tips won’t apply
I’m so sorry I know that’s so hard❤️
Try https://www.lostmydoggie.com
I’ve heard there is good success with this site. Maybe try a pet tracker pet detective especially if he had a collar that could get caught , or post in newspaper... put signs up near sightings, flyers out ....prayers for a speedy safe return 🙏❤️🙏
Try putting a feeding station by where he escaped or was sited and put smelly food, I use KFC original recipe the skin mainly draws them, or sardines,and maybe something like his blanket too and something with your scent too. He’s probably hanging close to escape location and will probably come looking for food at night. I have great success with kfc for the feral kitties I rescue. 🙏❤️❤️🙏
PetFbi or helpinglostpets pet harbor, Pawboost, nextdoor.com is good too

LOST DOG TIPS
Hope you find your dog!! 🐾❤️ There is a VOLUNTEER group and a TRACKER toward the bottom of this that may can help with your search! Hope you take time to read, lot of great info here to help!
SEARCHING RIGHT AWAY everywhere will increase chance of locating your dog.
Borrow or buy humane trap and set up near your home where they got out covered with scented items from you and the dog, along with food. Get a motion detector camera and monitor to see if it comes back to house. Ask neighbors to review any cameras they have to see if spotted. In the Woods? Go deep in woods around your house, take some torn strips of scented clothing, make a scent trail by walking around leaving strips of scented clothing and smelly food leading back to house. Get a camera to monitor to see if he returns, ask neighbors to check cameras.
**If Chipped, be sure it is registered and up to date!
