Q: What would you do if you lost your dog in China?
My girl friend lost her collie in Guilin ( tri-colored, mostly black) Her English isn't great, so I never get a long story. She has a friend that looks after the dog if she has to work a long day or go away. The friend lost her dog, thats all I know. She says she will try to find it, but I believe this must be done quickly. I told her to ask the police to watch and make up posters offering a reward. I do not know if she will even follow my advice. I told her offer 500 to 1000 or more, that might make someone notice. Do cities have pounds or shelters for stray dogs. The dog would not have any ID tags. What else can be done?
You could go on the dog's trail. Where was it last lost or where did you last see it. It could have left behind a trail. You could call it the pee pee poo poo trail or whatever trail you can find. Maybe the dog likes to rip things up see if anything in the area is ripped up that might be your dog's doing.
If the trail is lost from your perspective you could get another dog to try and help out in the search. What you do is give this new dog the scent and that dog can sniff out the trail better than you would be able to.

That might work with a trained hound dog. But how would you follow a pee/poo trail in China, when it's every where?
Last year someone lost a small dog in our neighborhood. they put up posters on lampposts etc, they got their dog back, an old guy had found it and taken it home with him, he saw the poster and called the owners.
Related to ID tags. The concept of ID chips is not used in China. Our dog has a chip in it shoulder, no one here has the reader for it.
Good luck on finding the dog. I would personally punch the person loosing our dog. People should learn to use leashes, especially when a dog is being taken care of by other people, it will not be as obedient when someone else calls it.
That reminds me, our dog used to have a dog tag with our phone numbers on it, so it would be easy to locate us. (I must have abandoned the idea when I realized the dog cannot operate a phone)
Looks like the thumb down troll is back.
No problem, thumbs up for all!

To answer the question. I would probably cry. And put up posers with his photo and offer a reward.
Scandinavian's suggestion is sound, but I'd also go to the local dog meat shop. Wish I, was joking...
Stop eating at the nearby restaurants for a while...
Was the dog ever located ?
TedDBayer:
No she never found it, and I can never get an answer on how much effort she puts into finding the dog. Anytime I want her to do anything, it's " I ask my friends'', whe i ask her if she has help, then it's '' I don't have friends''. I can't even get an answer on how the dog got lost. My Collie never leaves me and her dog is never left to wonder the streets alone, so it has a strong bond with her. It should come back. I would imagine that the dog could find it's way home, just from scents. My dog knows when my friends are coming in a car and aren't even in sight.
