My dog suddenly went missing around 9:30am. For some context, I live in an apartment in Sharjah, Al Qasimia Al Nud. I came back from a morning run and messed around with the pup for a couple minutes before taking a shower. After half an hour or so while I was having breakfast, I realized that the front door was slightly ajar probably because I didn't close it properly but I thought nothing of it - mainly because my dog was never one to run out the house - so I presumed he was still around. Fast forward, half an hour after breakfast, I wanted to resume our playtime only to find out he wasn't in the house. I called for him again and again, trying to bait him with treats but alas, he was not home.
I panicked and looked for him all over the house and floor and asked the neighbours if they've seen him but to no luck, they didn't. I live in an apartment in a nine storey building so I found it highly unlikely that he could've gotten anywhere far. I contacted the security guard and asked if he saw my dog in any of the security cameras but he said they currently were in maintenence. However he mentionned he did see a trotting dog going outside the house around the aforementioned time. So I went out to our usual walking route and tried looking for him there for several hours but again, no luck. I printed and hung flyers around the block in the hopes that someone might see him but I'm at a lost.
I'm really having a manic episode over this so I apologize if this was unreadable, but I really need some help. I contacted the (only?) animal shelter in Sharjah and asked them to help spread the word around. Did the same for a couple facebook groups, I'm really hoping I find him tonight.
He's a wee Pekingese Chihuahua of a lad and my neighborhood is rife with mean stray cats, so I'm really worried.
Good day people, just want to know our pekingese dog is shedding hairs in bunches, irregular behavior. Is she ill?
