I am so sorry to hear of another dog missing. I hope Annie finds her way home just as Chance did. Thank you, Michele, for starting the som|dog forum: it is an effective resource for many reasons, but especially for when a dog is missing.
Michele is correct: chasing a stray dog will usually scare it more. I have been able to catch four different stray dogs over the years and return them happily to their owners with this trick---but please don’t attempt this though unless you feel very comfortable catching a stray dog: Lie on your back with your arms and legs extended in the air. Because you are in a submission position, most dogs will come up and sniff you. That is when to take hold of its collar.
I know I have looked silly in the past making that pose, but not to the owners who were able to get their dogs back home!
Cheers,
Lisa
