Wee darling is still missing. Please help if you can 🐾❤️🐾
Wee Maisie is still missing. They are asking for any sightings to be reported but NOT to call, shout or chase her. She is in Flight Mode, I’ve listed below what this means. An experienced team are actively looking for he. With a little bit of luck she’ll be home soon 🙏
Key points about dogs in flight mode:
Instinctive Response:
Flight mode is a natural, automatic response to perceived threats, activating the dog's fight or flight mechanism.
Survival Focus:
The dog's primary goal is safety and survival, leading them to focus on escape and avoiding potential dangers.
Reactive Behavior:
Dogs in flight mode can become highly reactive to sounds, movements, and even familiar smells or sights, triggering panic and a desire to flee.
Suspicious of Humans:
They may become wary of humans, seeing them as potential threats, and may be difficult to approach or capture.
Importance of Understanding:
“Understanding this behavior is crucial” for safely rescuing or interacting with lost or scared dogs.
Not Always Obvious:
While some dogs display obvious signs of fear and flight, others may be more subtle, making it important to be observant of their body language and behavior.
