Hence they most likely were lost along with the crew of Prometheus.

Though according to the Weyland promo website, the pups were Weyland tech, I'm 99% sure. Though a lot of stuff on that website both references and muddles Alien continuity - like how the website says Atmospheric Processors have been around for decades and decades yet Burke still has to explain to Ripley what one was in Hadley's Hope.

Despite a nice big 3D map on Prometheus that pinpointed their exact location and could've been used to guide them.
