Witness calls and says, "I saw your dog" but did they?
They really want to help...
In most cases, callers and witnesses want to help your dog get home and they would love to be the one to make that dream come true for you.
Confirming that the caller or witness actually saw your dog is imperative to your search. Altering the strategy for an entire search based on a false sighting is perilous.
Remember ... be a detective and ask specific questions of the witness. Do not present them with a photo of your dog or try to explain how your dog looks. This approach can lead to false sightings.
