I have to agree with this. Ripley and Bella are not chipped and I have no plans to do so. Should a "bad" person find one of my dogs they would just throw away their tags and keep them. If they did take the dogs to a vet for routine care they would certainly not suggest they scan for a chip. A "good" person would read the tags and make the phone call. I found a stray dog once and that is what I did and this was years ago.
