I saw a stray dog this morning, and was checking some lost & found pages.
I came across these pages which have interesting information about how lost dogs may act:

https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/dont-call-dog/
.
Note to Self: If I see a stray dog or cat again, I should at least try to take some photos of it for posting to Lost&Found groups. And for remembering what exactly it looked like.

There’s a reason why one of the worst things that you can do is call out to a stray dog or panicked dog. The reason is that it’s likely that other people (who encountered the loose dog) have already tried to capture him and calling him has become a “trigger” that causes him to automatically bolt in fear when anyone, including his owner, calls him.
