Frank's story

Frank is the reason this exists.

Frank went missing in a wooded area. A normal poster mattered, but the sponsored advert helped more local people recognise him and report sightings. That is the job of Find Dogs Fast: get people nearby to know what to look for.

Local awareness can matter when a collar cannot be checked
Why this exists

Frank was found after people saw the advert and started reporting sightings.

This started with a real missing dog, a family trying everything, and years of digital marketing experience being used for one urgent job: get more local people to recognise Frank.

"He ended up at a house downhill from where he went missing. People started saying they had seen him after the advert was running."

From the Frank voice note, after he was found

Frank was injured and frightened. The people who found him could not safely check his collar. The missing poster mattered, but the paid local advert helped more people nearby connect the dog they were seeing with the dog who was missing.

Recognition came first

People needed the photos, the place, and the instructions in front of them.

Sightings became useful

The advert gave people a simple way to send the time and location.

The collar was not enough

When a frightened dog cannot be approached, public awareness matters.
