That was so scary for you I know it. I am also very happy you got them all back so quickly.
One of my dogs got through the back fence once when the neighbors behind us was replacing their corner of fence (idiots took 3 days, my husband is a fencer would of had it done in 1)..
Anyhow I drove all over, came home and my son said AVID called. She had a chip, and tags. On her tag was the chip number AVID's number, my vets number and on the other side my name, and number.
Within 20 minutes, if that, of her being gone (and it was dark) this woman found her in her back yard, 1 street over. She called AVID because she saw that before our number. AVID called us immediately after this woman called them!! I was so grateful and offered a reward, she declined.
I am always terrified my dogs will get out. My husband and son can be bad about closing the gates, especially my son. So i check before I let them out but every once in awhile one slips by but because I am always checking while they are out I have not lost any thank God!
No matter how careful we are, sometimes it happens. So tags, and chips are a must!! With the chip you can prove the dog is yours if someone steals it. My friend got her dog back when someone stole it and a couple of months later she saw someone walking her dog.
She confronted them they said no he is our dog.. Well the police came and because my friend had tattooed him all the cop had to do was look and there it was. the idiots who took him didn't see it in his ear....HA |
