My 13 y/o male lab got out of his harness yesterday and ran off into the forest after a deer. He’s been gone for almost 24 hrs. There is about 20” of snow on the ground. (Luckily it’s warmer today than yesterday) but I’m worried he won’t be able to find his way home.
Any ideas or advice on getting him home would be welcome. Or any advice on dealing with the grief and guilt of not being able to find him.
Editing to add an update:
Thank you everyone for your ideas and support. I’m looking into a drone/ tracking dogs in my area. I’ve seen locals post about using dogs to track deer.
I went out and searched where we last saw him and followed any tracks that looked remotely like dog prints. I left a blanket out on the ground. I’ll update again if we find him!
