The scissors dog search method

The scissors dog search method was originally used to find lost cats. Later, many people used the same method to find dogs. If your dog gets lost, prepare a bowl of water and a pair of scissors. Place the scissors flat on the mouth of the bowl and point the opening of the scissors toward your door or window. Place this summoning device on the stove at home, and then call the dog's name continuously. When calling your dog's name, your tone should be gentle and affectionate. It is said that this will make it easier to impress the stove god, who will convey your thoughts and mood to the dogs seeking pleasure in the palace and guide them home.

The scissors method is not advisable

In fact, the scissors dog hunting method is superstitious and can be explained by survivor bias. Survivor bias means that when the channel for obtaining information comes only from survivors, then the information may be biased from the actual situation. The returned dogs are survivors. It is unscientific to rely solely on survivors to make judgments. The key is the ignored non-survivors, that is, the cats that are still lost. They have not come back at all. This also creates the illusion that there is an inevitable connection between using the scissors method and retrieving the dog. In fact, it is just a coincidence.
