Micro chip makes for a happy ending!!
ToBoi...waiting to go home!!!
I have spoken long and loud regarding the benefits of the micro chip that can be implanted into your dog. These micro chips have all of the owner information implanted within the chip. If a dog is taken to a vet, the vet has the scanner which can read the micro chip and return any lost dog to their rightful owners. I would think that everyone would want to do this. It is a relatively inexpensive procedure and could insure the safe and healthy return of your dog to you in the event the dog was lost or stolen. Let me tell you of a recent story that documented this fact.
About three years ago, Barbara Apostolo’s Jack Russell terrier went missing. Apostolo believed that ToBoi was stolen from their Mirimar home. The dog had been micro chipped so that if he ever did wander a bit or get lost, he could be returned to his owner promptly and safely.
Well, here it is three years later and a Jack Russell terrier shows up in an animal clinic in Lake Charles, Louisiana. That’s right, Louisiana, which is about 1031 miles from where ToBoi was originally from. After the dog was scanned for the micro chip and it was found, Barbara Apostolo was contacted. She was thrilled that the dog was found and still believes that the dog was probably stolen. However, although this story might lead you to believe that ToBoi and Apostolo will be reunited, it hasn’t happened as of yet. Apostolo doesn’t have the money needed to transport the dog and the shelter is low on funds as well. Lets hope by this reading that there are some people out there who are willing to get this pup back to Florida where he belongs!!!
