As heartbroken as I am, I can't say that I would in fact have my pets chipped today because the person that picked my pet up still hasn't returned him despite flyers everywhere and a $1,000 reward, so the fact that he might have been microchipped probably wouldn't play a factor in this evil person's thought process.
I do applaud the vet that scans any new patients to see if they are microchipped! After this incident with my dog, you can best believe that I am working on how to remedy the problem of reuniting lost pets with their owners. |
I think the important part of this process is that even if the person does not return the dog, at least when they take it to their vet most vets will check the microchip. Because you're right, there are too many dishonest people out there that would not try to find the owner.
