Microchip In Your Pet

HomeAgain microchip A pet missing for over a half year was found via the microchip implanted in its skin. The microchip was by HomeAgain, a company that is positioning itself as the third natural step for pet owners, after spaying /neutering and vaccination. According to the FAQ, the microchip is the size of a grain of rice. It's all very X-Files and Gothamist wonders when humans will start to be tagged.

yeah. if it's so great, why did it take so long to find the dog?

That would be an awesome show. They'd get tough U.S. Pet Marshals to track down animals. I love it.

Over a half year? Why did it take so long? Perhaps the puppy didn't want to be found - maybe there's a show here - Fugitive Puppy.

My kitty has a microchip in his neck-- the ASPCA puts them in automatically before allowing them to be adopted. Kind of neat. I wish that I could control him with my palm pilot.
