S U R V I V A L mode
In survival mode, dogs may exhibit various behaviors, including increased alertness, hyper-vigilance & skittishness.
When in survival mode, dogs can become more reactive & defensive, as well as more inclined to run away or hide from any perceived threats.
SOCIAL MEDIA
This being the case, we are asking people not to post or report any sightings on social media, as we are very keen for the public to now stay away from the area he is in. Instead, please report all sightings to: 07523 366738
If too many people come to the area, he will feel threatened & move on. As it's a safe area ideal to put a trap up, we are keen for him to stay put. We would really appreciate your cooperation with this as it will result in Lucky being trapped quicker.
Sadly, his owner won't be able to call him over & catch him, as that part of his brain is now effectively switched off. Survival mode is a regression to a dogs primal instincts.
However, the good news is, it is almost always temporary; once a dog in survival mode is captured, they will generally return to their earlier personalities with very little noticeable change.
We really appreciate your help with your sightings so far, because of you, we have been able to pinpoint where he is which is fantastic. But now we are asking the public to step back & leave it to the trapping team.
Many Thanks.
