The case for micro-chipping

[borzoimom]

In our state, almost all the vets, with a incoming new adult dog or cat, they will scan for a microchip. When I had Galina chipped, my vet told me the previous week they had a older collie mix come in, that had a chip. The person that had the dog didnt steal her, but did get her from a " no kill shelter" to adopt. Why the shelter didnt check for a chip doesnt make sense to me- but there was a raised eyebrow on my vets face.. ... ...

This story made national television today. It was mentioned during a time-out of the Bears game against Tampa Bay. Unfortunately they didn't have time to say that the way the dog's family was found was through the micro-chip. I didn't even know such a thing existed until my cat's chip was applied as part of the adoption process.

They had a interview with the family ( with the dog) this morning on NBC morning news.
