Turns out the collared but no-ID beagle was the best friend of a sick boy, and they reunited. And I am glad they did, of course.

Not exactly - it's his Dad that is sick and there is more.

Regarding micro-chipping, the story I posted earlier (Hearts Break Over Beautiful Blonde (a yellow Lab)) shows there are problems with micro-chipping if the owner does not update the dog's records when necessary. I just had my dog micro-chipped last week.

I would read your story link there, but i am scared it is too sad.
