Dowsing has existed in various forms for thousands of years. In modern times, dowsing has been used to detect water for wells, mineral deposits and archaeological artifacts hidden in the earth.

Using a map in combination with a pendulum, this same practice can be used to locate lost animals. The address where the animal lives in combination with the address where the animal was last seen can be used to narrow down the animal's current location.

Map dowsing for lost animals is most effective if done several times per day to see if the animal is moving or is stationary. If it is determined that their location is changing periodically throughout the day, then a pattern of where they like to frequent can be established. This would make it easier to find them or to set out a humane trap in order to catch them and bring them back home to safety.

If, however, their location does not change, then they could be in someone's home, they could have transitioned or they could have entered into a protective state where they are still alive but their body isn't moving. This is usually the case if the animal has become injured and is trying to heal themselves.

I have been successful in locating many animals and getting them to come back home. Others, for various reasons, have not come back home even though their approximate location has been determined. Reasons for this are varied: they are afraid that the predator that chased them away will return, the animal has been stolen and cannot get away, the animal has transitioned, the animal's mission with their particular family has changed, etc.
