that was gonna be my first response. Why the if he has seizures is he wearing a choke collar pretty dogs bedding outside along with your stinky laundry meaning your unwashed towel, socks, etc. leave out water front and back. Get to know your neighbors. Ask everybody if they have any videos security footage of which way he went or if someone picked him up if he is microchip, make sure your information in his information are up-to-date and the company is still in business. Go out with a flashlight and a warm can of food or his favorite treats and make sure you have something to contain him in to get him back into the house with that flashlight you look underneath the shed in the shed underneath the garage inside the garage underneath trucks, trailers, boats RVs cars anywhere this baby can hide or if you live near a barn praying you find your baby soon and get that damn choke collar off!!!!

Also, please note that choke collars squeeze and can damage the delicate structures inside the neck… the squeezing pressure can limit or cut off blood flow to the brain and/or increase aversive stimulation and stress for the dog, lowering the seizure threshold for dogs with seizures (i.e. seizures more likely), and/or contribute to neurological issues. 🙏🏼❤️ Many people use these collars without knowing the negative effects, so just want to share as I also have a dog with seizures. ❤️

🙏🏼 Please ask that people DO NOT try to chase, follow, or call out to your dog if spotted. Whenever possible, it’s best if people report sightings and direction of travel to owner immediately, and don’t post specific sighting locations publicly. Dogs that are scared/lost often won’t recognize their owners when in that mindset and may not act at all like they do at home- even a super friendly and social dog can quickly go into fear/survival mode and run away from even the people they know. Avoid calling out or whistling to the dog – they will likely run away if they are in fear mode and it makes it even harder to safely contain them. It’s important for a lost dog to remain in the same area so it can be safely brought home, and unfortunately many well meaning people scare these dogs away and owners must start the search over. Even stopping a car nearby or closing a car door can be enough to accidentally scare the dog off. As soon as possible, the owners/guardians should place some items like unwashed laundry that smell strongly of their owners (clothes, socks, sheets) in the area last seen. Dogs in particular who get lost from an unfamiliar location almost always circle back to the place they got lost from, often at dusk or dawn when it’s quiet. Check the clothing/laundry spots at dusk and dawn, sometimes dogs are found laying on these items. Place the items in a place away from the road so the dog doesn’t move toward traffic. Keep in mind, the dogs won’t be using their noses when they are scared, and may not smell treats or recognize the scent or voice of their owners right away. If you are close, don’t move toward the dog. It’s best to sit or lay down and pretend to eat something delicious (smack lips, “mmmm yum yum”), loud crinkly chip or food bags help. Avoid eye contact, stay facing sideways, and avoid making movements toward them (if needed walk in general direction in an arch). If they move toward you, ignore them and then drop some food/treats! If you reach for them too soon, they may run off again. Be cautious offering a large reward for a scared dog on the run – it can hurt the dog’s chances of being safely recovered (people are more likely to call out and chase/follow the dog for a reward, which can cause the dog to run farther away or continue hiding). Eye-catching, clear flyers with the dog’s photo, your phone number in big font, and phrases like “scared- do not whistle at or chase” and “contact owner with sightings immediately” can help prevent even well-meaning people from scaring the dog more (and accidentally setting the dog running blindly into the road/traffic).
