NETWORKING
Seeing so many search pages using the term networking or dog amber alert. It sounds promising but is not structured to be effective
Individuals who report and share lost dog info are essential in this concept.
Doing a quick search for missing children in America 65 million pages popped up.
Of course there gobs of pages about the same thing.
There are gobs of facebook pages about the same thing
Hundreds of structured groups in the business of finding missing children
But (I think) one group Amber Alert, sticks out above all the rest.
On my turf these alerts are posted in gobs of social media groups and in dedicated pet search groups.
Sometimes they might be abducted or just run away.
Example my county, gotta start somewhere and I know about some groups.
The creation of the Amber group began with one and expanded nation wide..
Creating this hypothetical group Kookie (my pup) is symbolic.
If it worked as I imagine, when others caught on the network would spread across the nation.
While there are hundreds of individual search groups for missing children, the thing that gives fuel to the the Amber Alert group is they all join in ... connect and it does not diminish what they are doing in any way.. but promotes their own involvement.
Wonder if any sighting or caught stray would be published and anyone looking for a dog could look at the reports of dogs in their own area and the time line.
Chaos.. gobs of people adding sightings, lost or found dogs from all over the place...
The hub having to weed through an endless stream of post.
NOT SO
