So its 10 minutes to closing, and a dog runs into out lobby, no tags, no collar, an choke chain with no information attached to a jumping licking, puppy full of excitement and energy......

sigh......

so there I am coaxing a puppy into my arms (which wasn't hard to do) and then convincing her she wants to come with me as we head off to get her rescued.....

a trip to the animal shelter with my spare leash from the car and to my amazement while I'm filling out her paper work the counter person scans the back of her neck and a "ping" goes off, "Yep, she's been tagged, here write the number down......" two minutes later a phone call is made and bingo, the puppy has an owner and they have a phone number to call.....

So as I head out, I get to thinking..... wow a micro-chip just made some family's day.... I know my rescue dogs have them, but I wonder what information is on there and is it current..... and how does someone go about finding out?
