Looking for lost dog - seeking strategies / advice
My parents are at the beach in Davis, NC. On Friday, my dad took a small skiff to the Cape Lookout National Seashore (specifically the Great Island) with his friends and brought my parents’ dog, a cavapoo named Teddy, with them. Somehow on the way back Teddy got lost (we are so hoping not in the water from falling off the boat and rather on the island itself). Evidently it was chaotic with lots of people and dogs so he is somehow unclear on what happened and is devastated. Their other dog made it back just fine.
They have called local shelters, posted flyers in town and on the ferry service, posted in local Facebook groups, alerted all of the neighbors, and gone back to the island for 2 days looking for Teddy. He still hasn’t appeared. He has a collar with my mom’s number. They are heartbroken and I am hoping to help them any way I can.
Does anyone have advice on finding a lost dog, including strategies that are perhaps not obvious? Thank you so much.
