In Russia, began to provide services for the search for missing animals

It turned out that an entire industry appeared in the capital - the search for pets. RG studied the proposals of the "dog" detectives and found out to what extent these people can be trusted.

Nicknames - to the side
Detectives that specialize in animals have appeared in our country relatively recently, and so far the competition among them is not so high. RG managed to find several agencies on the Web whose employees took the path of the famous Ace Ventura. The cost of their services is from 35 thousand rubles. In case of failure, the agents promise to return the money. “The search for pets by the method is similar to the search for people,” said the founder of one of the first private animal search and rescue services in Russia, writer Valery Sugrobov (incidentally, a former policeman). “Conversations with possible witnesses, detour of the search area ... but there are places where animals themselves, which have lost owners, tend to tend to. "

Ace Ventura could hardly have expected followers even in Russia.

One of the cases was told to us in detail at an agency operating in Moscow, Moscow Region and St. Petersburg. A grandmother turned to the detective, from whom her beloved cat escaped. Murlyk was sorry: he had lived in an apartment for a long time, and then - the memory of her dead husband. A detective with a photograph of a cat walked around grandmother's yard. I talked with the "dog lovers". And one of the women recalled: “Of course, I saw this early in the morning! He almost at the entrance nearly hit the car.” The car number the watchful "doggirl" remembered. Moreover, the driver felt sorry for the cat, and, leaving his troubles, he took the furry to his home. Having learned about grandmother’s sorrow, the compassionate motorist returned the cat, of course.

He who seeks will find
Cats are really more timid than dogs, detectives say. That is why in the early days they will not run far. Will huddle to the porches or basements. Often beat off from their owners and dogs. “The main reason is the sloppy attitude of the owners,” Sugrobov shares. “They pull them off the leashes and let them go too far. But there are other factors. I have noticed over the years of practice that hunting breeds run away more often in spring - they have instinct. In winter they run smooth-haired - they warm up by run ".

The first thing to do is to paste as many ads with a portrait of the animal as possible. Do not specify a nickname - they can also lure. Then look for witnesses. For example, janitors or employees of nearby stores. The dog, when hungry, will smell - to the market or to tents with meat. Chances are good to find a dog with a simple view of ads in local newspapers and the Internet.

Dog revenge
Detective tactics will be slightly different if the animal is stolen. Such cases were common in the 90s, says Sugrobov, when the market was not so developed. Elite breeds were stolen "on order". Now there are a huge number of stores, and thefts of this kind have plummeted. Another thing is theft for revenge. One agency recalled a case in Murmansk. A local businessman lost two rottweilers. A student walked with the dogs. One evening the boy came home beaten and without dogs. Almost crying with frustration, the student said: he was walking along, when a car pulled up, the bumps got out, they beat me, your rottweilers were thrown into the Gazelle - and away. But the dogs did not resist - they were muzzled.

Where in Moscow you can tickle your nerves on your birthday
The hired agent talked with the guy's classmates and found out that he had recently purchased an expensive smartphone. Explicitly on the "unearned scholarship." The young man did not open for long. He told how the competitors of the businessman came to him and asked for the money just to give them the dogs. Which he did. For the sake of order, the face of the dog nanny was “decorated”. The detective found the dogs. Customers took them out of town and left them there. Rottweilers came to the cottage village, where they sheltered. There are dozens of such stories. And in some cases, notes Sugrobov, it is worth resorting to their services. Be sure to conclude a contract. “And it is also important that you yourself observe how the detective works,” our interlocutor advises. “Let him put you in his car, and then you will take part in the search together.” You can search for a pet yourself - you should follow simple instructions.

Specifically
What to do if a pet is missing?
- Compose and post announcements with a portrait of a pet (without a nickname) and your story.

- Interview witnesses: these may be street cleaners, other dog breeders, motoring neighbors who leave early for work.

- Examine the basements and attics - there usually hide lost frightened cats.

- Go to local grocery stores, to markets, to kiosks with fast food - hungry animals, probably there will come to the smell of food.

What to do so that the pet does not disappear?
- In crowded places, hold your pet in your arms or on a leash.

- Use GPS collars.

- Put a tattoo with your phone number on your pet.

Opinion
The law does not bite
Vladimir Postanyuk, lawyer:

What rare animals to see at the Children's Zoo in Moscow
- If you have lost an animal, you have the right to choose: apply for theft to the police or to a private detective. According to the Civil Code, general property rules apply to animals. A private detective has the right to provide these services. A private detective acts on the basis of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Private Detective and Security Activities in the Russian Federation." He must have a license and conclude an agreement with the customer for the provision of detective services. The contract should reflect information about the parties, including the number and date of issue of the license, the type and content of the services provided, the time period for their provision, the cost of the services or the procedure for determining them. You can also provide for the responsibility of the detective in the case of poor quality services.
