The Story of Lost and Found Pet using Microchip

What happen if you find a cute nobody's dog or cat on the street?

I would suggest that you go to the pet store that has a microchip reader (scanner), doing such way probably you will be able to reunit a lost dog or cat with the owner.

That's happened with the two stories below:

First Story: Cat found in Frankfurt Airport.
One of the Shipping Company has reported to the IPATA mailing list (it happened just recently, early October 2008), a cat with microchip has been found at the Frankfurt Airport area. After searching for a few days, one of the pet shipping company in USA found out the maker of the microchip based on the numbering system. According to the data base which the number match to the cat that lost, the cat name, and the owner name were known.
The time being no news whether the owner could be reached to inform that such a good news.

It could be one of you knew the owner, the cat name is: Captain Jack, the owner is Sandra Avalos, a member of the US military. Wow... That's amazing.

Second Story: Dog found in Sydney, Australia on the Street.
This is our owned story. One day in a year 2003, we (Groovy at Jakarta) received email from Australia saying that somebody has found a dog, a little daschund with microchip on it. Based on the data base the number of microchip was in the batch that was delivered to Jakarta Indonesia, to us. They asked us whether we had a record on that Microchip number. Then we searched (still on that day) from our data base, found out the microchip was implanted to the little cute Daschund named: MOMO, belong to Japanesse expatriate who moved to Australia from Jakarta in the last 7 months. Actually this dog was sent to Singapore for staying in there for 6 months periode, then from Singapore was sent to Australia for quarantine another month (Australian Regualtion). That day was the first day for MOMO to be at his new home. Probably he still confused or wanted to search his neigbourhood, so when the door opened he ran away from home. Lucky for MOMO the neighbour found him and that's the story begun, as reported by the owner when we informed them by email and told them that MOMO has been found by their neighbour. So that happened within 24 hours with the happy ending.

So communication and data base has help pet owner on this situation with happy ending.
These stories among other stories about Lost and Found of beloved dogs and cats.
