Red dog collar with bone tag found in Dundee
Description
Found this red nylon dog collar with a small silver bone-shaped tag on it this morning around 8:15am outside the V&A Dundee on Dock Street. It's a medium-sized collar, bright red with a black trim, a sturdy plastic buckle, and a well-used feel with a few scuffs along the edges. No brand logo visible on the outside. The bone tag is engraved with the name 'Rex' and a barely legible phone number on the back. The collar is clean but clearly worn from daily use. If this belongs to your dog, please get in touch; I’d love to help reunite you, especially since Rex might be anxious without his collar.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
