Flat out lost only means we don't where to look, and I don't see why that is so hard to believe. You've answered your own question as well when you said, "the possible scenarios are numerous..."
Suppose you let your dog out every night for brief "free time" and he goes to the same general location and returns within the same amount of time, but one night he doesn't return. How would you go about finding him? You'd begin by searching his common route, his last known location, ask neighbors if they saw him, ask which direction he was headed, and when he was last seen. If that wasn't enough, you'd put up posters asking for any information. He could be anywhere, stuck in a closed garage, at a stranger's house, picked up and taken, wandering on his own miles from your home, at the pound, or, hit by a car.
Numerous possible scenarios, all plausible, and all need to be checked out. You discover that your small community is, in fact, a large place. How many resources do you have and where is the best place to put them? After 17 days, with still no real evidence where to look for your dog, you conclude he could be
anywhere. He's flat out lost.
