I'm posting this because of two sad threads.

I'm thinking about the ways you can maximize the possibility of recovery.

The obvious first step is to have a dog tag with your phone number. If the dog simply gets out of the house and is found by an honest person then they can just call you.

If the dog winds up in the hands of a dognapper then his first step might be to call you and ask for a ransom.

What other measures are there?

Whirleybird mentioned in her thread about Missy that the German Shepherd that she had an ID chip. Is that something embedded in the dog's skin and how does it work?

Ideas?

Microchip implant (animal)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Microchip implant in a cat.

A microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit placed under the skin of a dog, cat, horse, or other animal. The chips are about the size of a large grain of rice and are based on a passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.

The use of externally attached microchip devices such as RFID enabled ear tags (piercings rather than implants) is another, related method commonly used for identifying farm and ranch animals other than horses. In some cases the external microchips may be readable on the same scanner as the implanted style.

I honestly don't think we could have done anymore in our quest to find Missy. She disappeared off the face of the earth - she did not just get out as she was an affirmed bird killer and not we, or others, had any chickens, ducks etc. killed. Under any normal circumstances of her getting out of our compound (which she had not done in the preceeding 2 years) she would have come back at dinner time....

Sadly, the disappearance of Missy may always remain a mystery.... sad to know that also Luna and the missing Malinois Belgian Shepherd bitch have disappeared in a similar way. They're there one moment, and gone the next.
