Dear Henry,

What are your thoughts on Microchipping your pets?
Thank you,
Arthur

Dear Arthur,
Very good question! Just last week we were able to return a dog that had been stolen because it was micro chipped. We located the dog and because we were able to verify the legal owner via the microchip it made getting the dog back to his owner a much easier process.
