What's new on IELTS with Fiona

I was walking around my village yesterday and I saw this "Lost dog" poster EVERYWHERE.

I was quite shocked by the tone - it tells me what I must do and must not do, without a single polite request or a please or thank you.

It had such a negative effect on me, that I didn't want to help them find their dog. I thought probably the dog ran away because it was tired of being shouted at!

How would you rewrite it to get a more positive response?

- Could you help us please?

- Our dog, Arnie, is missing.

- If you see him, please let us know.

- It would be great if you could take a photo.

- Many thanks in advance.
