The power of a microchip

After Hurricane Katrina, people began to have their animals microchipped to prove ownership. I have read of many fights between people who think they own a dog and then find out there is a microchip and then dog really isn't theirs.
I am sure the people who cared for the dog in this story love the dog. I am just as sure the people who lost the dog mourned when he could not be located. To the people who took the dog, why didn't you have it checked for a chip?
The dog is being returned to his original owner who has moved from Arkansas to California. The family who has cared to the dog for 7 years is going to mourn. It is a sad story all the way around.
Have your animals chipped and then check for a chip if you receive a gift of a well-cared for animal. Most things that seem to be too good to be true, normally are.
