Don't know what it's like for dogs, but when we lost horses, the key is to stay calm. try and body block anything that's dangerous ie the road... if you can step on the leash that'll help for dogs. As for the horses, most times we bait them back with treats. One person blocks the road, the other grabs treats, if there is only one person, well with horses you're screwed. lol.
I've only ever lost Harley's leash briefly, and it's retractable so I just step on the handle.... I'm interested to hear what people do with these little ones, cause they do like to play chase a lot.
