This whole situation has my heart PAC'in like a fiendish hyena.

Oh PLEASE let this be Armani!! The more I think about it, I can't imagine a circumstance where it wouldn't be.

Praying for the OP

My mom thinks all I should be worried about is him being ok and back where he should've been all this time in my arms. But I need answers.

I agree with you. This is all so puzzling.

Surely he would have scars from the attack...you'll be able to look for them under his hair.

Very good idea to keep the other pups at your parents until he has a clean bill of health.

What time are you going? How far away is it? I simply cannot wait to hear more.

I looked back on your old thread from last year...I was the first to offer condolences. I hope I'm one of the first to offer congrats if it truly is him!

[Princess Belle]

I remember when this happened. I thought You And the AC officer thought he was dead. If so then they deff should have called you when Armani regained consciousness. I believe that Armani is Alive & waiting for you. I believe he was not dead but in coma & shock.

When are they expected to arrive to pick you up? I agree with your mom. =/ I would want answers too, but sometimes things just happen. It seems likely to me that the AC officer who picked him up, simply left him where they usually do, and went about his day. They see tons of animals (severely injured and dead) every day, and it was someone else who found that he was still alive, and rushed him to the vet. There are a lot of chips that aren't detectable when scanned, and a lot of "less than quality" scanners that pick up squat. When he was healed up, they found him a home and didn't think twice about it until this day when he was found and the scanner worked. I think this is most likely the case. It's the only one that fits the scenerio (to me anyway), and the only case that I can play out in my mind and plausibly have this outcome.

...I really believe this is Armani. People don't take microchips out of dogs in the shelters here (I called and asked and they were appalled at the question in and of itself). They said removing a chip from one dog and placing it in another dog is unsanitary and perverse, and they can't think of any shelter that would do that, kill shelter or otherwise. I also called my vet, and his vet tech told me that when a dog is severely injured like Armani was, it is possible that their body went into the 'fight or flight' response, and they chose flight. Flight doesn't mean running, it can also mean that he or she simply shuts down (involuntarily) and appears dead....even the slightest pulse cannot be detected. After that, I called the shelter (again) and asked if they'd ever had a situation where an animal was brought in after being thought to be dead, and then was discovered to be living, and she said YES. She said...and I quote... "AC is not a vet, nor a vet tech. They are trained to retrieve the animal, and aren't trained to run the required diagnostics to pronounce an animal deceased."

IF this is NOT Armani...I would definitely be demanding to know why your dog's chip was in another animal, and I would be contacting my lawyer ASAP.

(but I really believe it's Armani)
