I think it's a great idea. Less dogs that have to be thump. This will take care of the overpopulation problem, BYBs, and keeps dogs with more Bobs owners. My city has a program here that will microchip for only $20. In big cities it is VERY hard to call all of the shelters to find out if your dog is found. It is also hard to argue if someone else wants your dog and claims it. I have heard of some people from the shelters calling their friends to come and claim a dog that is not their's if it is an expensive breed, such as our yorkies. If all of the dogs are microchiped there is no way they can argue ownership.
