I will try to follow a dog that is loose from a distance. If it stops. I stop and watch. Ocasionally they go in someones yard and I can sit and watch them out of the corner of my eye and use calming actions to see if they will come near me. If nothing else if I can get a picture and share a location on the Lost Dogs/Pets page for wherever I am. But thanks to you and my many other mentors on finding lost dogs. I know not to chase or try to call a lost dog. I will try to call it if it is a dog that knows me very well and has only been loose a short time. All my friends dogs will come to me when they see me anyway. Because I almost always have treats. I am ok using bribery to make friends with dogs.
