Lost dog in Calgary

I never let mine run loose except when I'm out with them myself. Last year my oldest girl, who is deaf, took off after a rabbit and never came back. We called the pound a few days later but they hadn't heard of one matching our description being found. A week later they called back with a lead for someone on Facebook who kept a running diary of lost and found dogs. We checked and sure enough, they told us that she had adopted some young girls a few miles down the lake who had taken her in with the hopes nobody would ever claim her. After that the girls stopped around every once in a while just to say hi. My girl passed a while back from old age. She always did love kids.

So besides telling a cool story, the point is to check Facebook. I hate that form of social media but it's a great resource for finding a lost pet.

Edit - I see I crossed paths with @Doggggboy a few seconds before me.
 
Put the word out to all the local Humane Societies and Recue groups. Most areas also have local lost dog Facebook pages.
Hopefully the dog is microchipped and tattooed. There are MARN groups as well, Missing Animal Response Networks, that can help with locating and tracking lost pets. Pyrs can wander for quite a distance so hit up the nearby towns and suburbs as well.
Good luck.
Doing all of that! Thanks Doggboy. They have hired a specialist too. a real live pet detective.
 
Seen today on nose hill. On the run for two weeks now. He’s had coyote run ins as the magpies are bugging him - they smell the blood. He’s getting ragged and slower. The kids hired a professional. And so now a go fund me.

Any update?
 
I wouldn't call that an investment. You cant (legally) fly the dang things anywhere outside of some specific areas & stipulations. Unless you mean hire a Drone service.
 
Touchy subject. To a certain degree (IMHO) that particular 'community' brought adverse negative attention to themselves. And managed to collaterally drag other longstanding hobbyists into the sh*t.
And our elected leaders like nothing more than making new rules & policies. It doesn't stop you from buying one of course, that's the irony. The broader issue is that anything fun is becoming illegal. Sad statement of our so called modern society.

Agreed. I’ll leave it at that

Really really touchy. I like R/C choppers, and I really like the video equipped versions. I can survey my crops, recognize deficient areas and get early warning of bug problems. Then they passed these stupid new rules and suddenly I'm in a no-fly zone! IN FARMLAND for crap sake!
 
He keeps being seen. Nose hill again this morning then the golf course up north. We’re here now helping keep watch.
I'm sure your group already have this covered but if Leon is frequenting a particular area it can help to set up a feeding station with a live trap and monitored cameras. It may not be doable in an urban area with all the regular action happening though. Live traps must be monitored really, really closely and frequently. It may be the best bet for catching a shy dog that is leery of people. If your daughter has only had Leon for a short time then he will not have developed a very strong trust bond with her, that can take months and years, and may not just run into her arms if she calls his name when she spots him. I really hope there is a happy ending.
