Thread: Cases of dog attacks studied at Middlemore Hospital

wont stop biting but suits me fine...My dogs actually lose their collars quite often so I like the fact they cant lose their chips...

Max followed his.... um nose for five days a year or two back. I had a tip a black dog was seen heading back toward Masterton on a Friday night. I went looking and again Saturday and Sunday. I had all but given up hope. Monday I get a call from the pound asking if I'd like my dog back. I did. He said he had been picked up Saturday back in town (on his way home?), from which I suggested an earlier call might have saved some time, miles and worry. Although one of the local dog rangers had read his chip once before they had to wait until Monday to log onto the national database? So it does work for lost dogs, however I had already called the two district council pounds he may turn up at. Most people will call the pound if they find a dog. I had also visited the 5 or 6 farms he was seen sniffing around..... Had he been shot the chip wouldn't have worked. Max had a removal operation, but is still chipped, and has done no serious wandering since, hasn't bitten anyone either so perhaps the chip is working properly now
