The only thing that the chip has in it is a number programmed in it. When the scanner scans the chip, the number comes up on the screen of the scanner. You must then look up the chip number in the computer system to get the dog's information. It's not used for any kind of tracking purpose or control purposes or anything.
They are already putting microchips in some people. It's not very common though. The purpose is so that when you go to the doctor or hospital, your chip is scanned and all your medical history can be found. It's just used to get medical information which could safe a person's life in an emergency, especially if there was no identification on the person.
