You may notice that the dog is scared, confused, it is rushing around or trying to hide, sniffing passers-by.

You need to speak quietly to the animal, let it sniff your palm. All this time you need to watch the dog's reaction.

It is important not to frighten the dog, otherwise it may bite and run away.

If the dog has calmed down, you need to check for the presence of a collar, a sign with the address and contact information of the owner.

It is possible that the dog will have a kennel mark or a chip.

If there are no such signs, then you need to provide information about the animal found.
