Tiny Microchip

MIAMI—A 77-year-old Dallas woman has been reunited with her dog after it mysteriously turned up in Florida. A Miami Beach club promoter found Sunshine, a Yorkie mix, on a street corner and took her to the vet. A microchip traced the pooch to Jodi Head, more than 1,000 miles away in Texas. The two were reunited Monday at Miami International Airport, where Sunshine happily shook her tail and licked Head’s face. Read the full story.

This story is exactly why you should chip your pet.  We all love our pets, and know that they can wonder off, or even be snatched up.  This is one simple way that we can help get our pets back to us if the do go missing.  You can’t teach them your phone number and address like you can your kids, so you need to give them the best chance you can.

At your next checkup, ask you veterinarian to microchip your pet.  It is money well spent!
