k9angel Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 It's a lost and found story with a modern, technological twist. A dog that disappeared in the United States has been reunited with his owner after an 1100km trip - thanks to a microchip. The dog, a two-year-old terrier named Bear, was last seen at the family's Sacramento construction business with his 32-year-old owner Bryan Rapozo. The family had given up hope of finding Bear but then came the phone to say he had been found. The family received a call from the Humane Society in Tacoma, Washington two days after Bear had disappeared saying he had been found in a local neighbourhood. It was the microchip that confirmed his identity. It's unclear how the dog got to Washington State, but the Rapozos think someone snatched him off the street. http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/offbe...-big-adventure/ That he was found and reunited with his owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine why anyone would be without a microchip nowadays! It's invaluable and this article proves it. How upsetting to have lost your dog for all that time though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
