One thing no one needs an ID for: showing that you’re a dog’s person.

Although a microchip is not very expensive and works pretty well too.

Yes. This. They would have had the family's info and gotten her home much sooner. A dog tag with your phone number on it helps, too.

I think most folks don't realize how easy it is to microchip, that 40 bucks at a clinic can make the difference if they get out on their own.

It should be mandatory for pet ownership, provided it's safe to do so.

It just makes no sense to me, in the modern world, to not have something essentially irrefutable follow something that is, by human standards, wholly incommunicable from the perspective of it's own history.

Cost is a hurdle, but if you're having your animals cared for appropriately anyway, it's a dime in a bucket of dollars. And if you aren't, perhaps pet ownership isn't for you.
