If your dog is missing, first look for your neighborhood, your usual walking place, and where your dog likes. At the same time, please inform the nearest ward office or police department as soon as possible about the date and time when the dog was gone. The ward office can provide information about dogs protected in the ward. Also, you may be protected by citizens and veterinary hospitals, so let's look for everything.
If you attach a dog's license tag or injection slip to your dog, you can contact the registered owner from the ward office if protected. Be sure to attach your dog's license tag and injected votes to your dog in case you get lost.
Surprisingly few people can tell the characteristics of their dog without looking at the dog. Keep photos and records in case of emergency.
