JB Bebber very true. Your dog acts like he doesn't recognize you and runs. But in my situation I had four other of my dogs out at the park. He saw them and recognize his furr Brothers. Followed them into the car.

Never chase a lost dog because pursuit triggers a biological survival reflex. Driven by high adrenaline, the dog stops thinking like a cherished pet and views any approaching human—even its owner—as a predatory threat. Chasing forces the animal into blind panic, causing it to bolt into traffic, cross dangerous terrain, or disappear miles away from familiar ground- THINK LURE!

Lost Dog Tips and Information Please post on Lost Dogs Illinois by registering your pup at https://www.petfbi .org You will receive two free flyers to print and you need to post in your neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods. They offer tips and best practice on how to recover your loss Dog. This is a free service. Flyers are extremely important in gaining sightings of your pup and where your pup is finding its safe zone. Make sure your phone number is on the flyer and correct. A phone call is much faster than a social media post. * 🔺If your pup is shy/skittish, please do not post sightings. Good Samaritans may chase your dog and cause your dog to bolt or run into traffic. * 🔺Leave food, water and a scent item (ie unlaundered shirt, towel with your scent on it) where the dog went missing. Oftentimes dogs will return to where they were lost from. * 🔺Share the post and start spreading the word on social media, including Next Door and Neighbors Ring App * 🔺Flyers are most important right now! There are many people not on social media, so the more people that see that flyer, the better. * 🔺Put a large lost dog sign in your yard. * 🔺If chipped, call the chip company asap & make sure it’s registered & up to date! *🔺Make sure you report your dog as missing with the Microchip company * 🔺Alert your Animal Control and Police Department too and check with them daily. SCAM alert! Please be careful with anyone claiming to have your dog and asking for a 6 digit google code to prove you are a human. It is a scam and in full force. Also, beware of anyone asking for money for your dog back. NEVER send money until you have possession of your dog. Please disregard no matter how persistent the scammers are! Good luck! I hope you find your fur baby soon.  Why?
