8 things to do when your dog is missing

Look at the great pyrenees puppies. None of them are as cute as Gus was.
Here are 8 things to do when your dog hits the streets.

1. Put an ad on craigslist. It's quick, free, and people see it.

2. Get in the car and drive in progressively larger concentric circles around your home for about 5 hours. You won't find your dog this way, but it's better than sitting home.

3. Call the police, or animal control agency in your area. When asked if your dog is licensed, say "No." like it's a ridiculous question. The cops love that.

4. Call the shelters. These folks are dog and cat experts. The guy who asks if your great pyrenees is black is probably new.

5. Get back in the car and return to places that your dog has been spotted, over and over. Stray dogs are known for just chillin' in one area.

6. Ask everyone you see on the street if they have seen your lost puppy. Especially little kids.

7. use your "down time" between walks, drives and bike rides to relax, and plan a "Welcome Home!" party for your pooch.

8. lolcats.
