It is not about a Yorkie but it is a pretty serious legal battle about a show dog named piper who was being babysat on a holiday weekend; escaped the fence, was picked up within short hours by animal control and identified by micro chip, then quickly turned over to a rescue against the shelters hold time protocols, the true owners attempted to retrieve her within twenty four hours of the rescue acquiring piper and they refused to return her. It has been a pretty big deal and I imagine will set some pretty notable case presidence and influence microchip security. Here is a link to an article about it if anyone is interested:

It has been an emotionally impacting situation for me to read about personally and I would be curious how the rest of the dog world is responding- it sounds like there has been some split reception about the issue.
