| Lost dog found 8 yrs later!!! I heard on the news today that a dog that was lost in Virginia in 2003 was found in California yesterday!!!! They identified the original owner because the dog had a microchip. Ok now I'm pissed because you mean to tell me that that dog has not been to a vet for 8 years and no one checked the chip??? I think it is despicable that that poor owner didn't have their dog all this time because no one bother to check the chip. Why get it then????

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Wow, that is a long time, I wish that more states had rules about checking for chips, and notifying the original owners. There definitely needs to be something done to make this a better system.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | One of the reasons I chipped was that many pounds say they will check for a chip and if a dog has a chip, he has a longer period that can be used to find the family. Without a chip, it's only 3 days in some states. With a chip its about a week.

I always ask my vet to check their chip when I bring them in because I want to make sure they work. What is the sense if no one checks it when someone brings in a new dog? It really is a shame that the vets have to be TOLD to do it. Ridiculous.
